  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking. Serve warm with a pat of butter or cream cheese for added richness.
