pan of water on lower rack of oven and BAKE 2 1/2 to 3 hours till done. COOL on  
wire racks. REMOVE from pan and PEEL paper off. WRAP in cloth dampened in  
whiskey or brandy, then in foil. BEFORE serving glaze and decorate.  
GLAZE:  
BOIL 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon corn syrup, 2 tablespoons water.  
SIMMER 2 minutes. BRUSH over cake.  
Note: Since many of these cakes are made weeks prior to serving, some Chief Cooks  
open up the aluminum foil every few days, sprinkle or brush whiskey or brandy  
(
depending on what was used initially) on the cloth wrapping, then reseal. This is a  
personal preference thing, including the use of whiskey or brandy in the first place. If  
memory serves, dry sauterne was popular in some families.--Caj.
