4. Bake in slow 325°F oven for 80 to 85 minutes until cake springs back when touched lightly. Invert pan on funnel or suspend over cooling rack. Allow cake to hang until cool.

5. Remove by running a sharp thin-bladed knife around sides of pan with one long steady stroke. Tap pan sharply until cake comes free.
