Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Grease two 8½-by-4½-by-2½-inch loaf pans and line with greased wax paper. Press the mixture firmly into the pans. Cover with buttered wax paper.

  3. Step 3

    Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer. Cool the cakes on wire racks. Loosen around the sides with a spatula and invert on wire rack. While they are still warm, remove the wax paper carefully. Cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, slice thickly with a very sharp knife. Cut slices into smaller pieces.
