PS: This makes a big cake which will keep much longer than I've ever seen
one last. It's also almost impossible to overbake. A couple years ago I
was making one as an Xmas gift for friends. I went to bed, forgetting to
remove the cake from the oven, and it baked all night long. When I finally
got it out of the oven (over 7 hours after it went in) the cake was
perfectly OK except for a suface layer about «" deep that was a bit dry. I
made another cake for the gift, but my family gobbled the "mistake" in
short order.
