3. Add melted butter and stir until mixture is just smooth (do not over-mix).

4. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

5. Set aside in the pan for 5 minutes to cool, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve in thick slices, and PIG out!
