Waiting to see. I am a little skeptical about the cooking times but we shall soon see. 30 more minutes and it will come out of the oven. It smells good though so hopefully it will be good!

Perfect! I served this to guests today and it was superb. I doubled the base and made it in a 10-inch pan, otherwise I followed the directions exactly. I'm printing the recipe again to give away.
