Transfer the batter to the pan and bake for 50 min for the loaf, 30-35min for t

layers, or until a cake tester comes out dry.

Cool for at least 20 min on a rack before removing from the pan.
Remove from the pan and peel off the wax paper.
The cake has such a rich fudgy taste that a little confectioners' sugar sprinkl
ed
over the top to give it a finished look is all that it needs.
