Put the pan in the oven an set the timer for 25 minutes. When the timer bell goes off, use a pot holder to pull the cake out enough so you can test it for doneness by sticking a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If the tooth pick has some sticky batter on it when you remove it, let the cake bake 5 to 10 minutes. This cake usually takes about 30 minutes to bake.

Turn the cake upside down onto a large plate. If the cake doesnt come right out of the pan, loosen it by running a knife carefully around the sides, between the cake and the pan, and then carefully push a metal spatula under the bottom of the cake to loosen it. This cake, however, usually comes right out of the pan without coaxing.
