When I'm short on time, I have baked it right after mixing without the overnight refrigeration. It turned out fine.
My husband said, "I think we found our breakfast cake!!" as we've been on the search for a breakfast cake to begin some traditions for special occasions such as birthdays & holidays! Thank you SO much for sharing!!
Love the baking dish too!
