- Spoon into a 10-inch non-stick loaf pan and bake for 1 hour; check for doneness by inserting toothpick into the middle of the cake.

- Remove cake from oven and place on cooling rack or trivet.
- Baste or spritz top with brandy and allow to cool completely before turning out from pan.
- When cake is cooled completely, seal in a tight sealing, food safe container.
