  4. Bake two layers from the mixture, using a spring form. at 350F for 10-15 minutes. (I trace 2 circles on parchment using the 9 or 8” spring form Place the parchment on a baking sheet Then I divide the batter between the 2 circles and lightly smooth to the lines of the circle then bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes. This is like a large macaroon and should be dry when done.
