Can be kept in a tin for several Notes weeks in a cool dry place. * The cooking time depends on your oven, some ovens burn hotter than others, size is also a factor, as is the colour of your metal cake pan. * This cake has a tendency to sink if you check on it too soon or if it is very liquid (it needs to be a thick pouring consistency, or even reluctant to pour!) When you put it in the cake tin, I suggest to set a timer for 50 minutes and then carefully, slowly open the oven door and stick a skewer or tooth pick into the crust.
