Notes
Usually when baking in a glass pan, the temperature should be 25 degrees higher, and will take up to 10 minutes longer – this recipe has been tested in a glass pan, and a non-stick pan. The instructions are written for non-stick, so please adjust accordingly.
If you can, it's best to leave it cool overnight.
