Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 inch metal baking pan.

3. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the top is just firm to the touch. Remove and let cool completely in the pan.

2. Spread over the cooled cake and refrigerate 30 minutes to firm up.
