Bake for 1 hour and test with toothpick or cake tester.  It should come out clean without wet cake batter.

It usually takes mine about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Cool on wire rack 15 minutes

Slide flat spatula around cake in pan

Slide small spatula or butter knife around middle tube

Carefully turn pan over rest cake in hand and quickly put on wire rack upside down to cool

Then turn cake over to cool other side.

I hope you enjoy this cake as much as our family has enjoyed it for so many years.
