• Make sure to stir thoroughly after each addition.
• Pour into greased loaf pan, I used Pam and then lined with parchment paper.
• Bake 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. (I baked it for 1 3/4 hours).
• Let it rest and cool! The first time I tried to take it out of the pan -- I cannot begin to tell you of the mess I made. Then I decided it was not done, as I had only baked it 1 1/4 hours, so I tried to stuff it pack into the pan. That was not easy, but I did it, baked it another hour, and pried it out after letting it cool. It was ugly all the way around, but very good! So good that I am making lots more for sharing.
