- Beat for 10 minutes, scraping down the bowl several times.
- Pour into greased and floured tube pan.
- Place in a COLD oven.
- Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean. Note: Sometimes this cake has taken up to 2 hours to bake. It all depends on the oven. You don't want to raise the oven temperature because the crust won't form properly.
- Allow cake to cool in pan for 30 minutes and then run a butter knife around the edges before removing it from the pan.
