3Remove and divide batter using the following method: Into either the savarin or tube pan, measure out 5 1/2 cups of batter and spread it around evenly. Now gently screw on the center fill insert. Add 2 cups of batter to the round pan.

4Place both pans in lower third of oven. Place a foil or parchment-lined cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any batter overflow. Set timer for 25 minutes. When time is up, test the bottom round pan by inserting a toothpick or bamboo skewer into the center. It should come out either clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. (Wet batter means

it is not done.)

5If done, remove this pan and reset timer for 20 more minutes for the savarin or tube pan. Test for doneness on this pan by inserting a toothpick or bamboo skewer in between one of the 4 small slits on the top of the center fill insert. Remove and cool for 10 minutes.

6Gently remove center fill insert by unscrewing. Invert onto pretty serving platter. Invert lower round pan as well. Cool completely. Fill and frost

as desired.
