Bake 325-350 (ovens vary) for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Outside should be an even dark brown. If top is blackened, your oven is too hot.

Let Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to wire cooling rack. Will hold 5 days at room temp. Freezes extremely well. Once totally cool, first wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil, keeps in freezer for 3-4 mos. Set out overnight to unthaw.
