importantall right goodnice yephere is our pre-baked crust and now justgonna pour it right in it and then we’regonna heat that in the oven from 50minutes to an hour so I’m gonna do itfor 50 minutes

about an hour forthe cake to bake and then maybe 30 moreminutes to let it cool with the with thespoon in the door too so basically youcan use after it bakes you don’t want toopen the the oven right away because ifyou do that the cool air from theoutside room will come in and it’llcrack the top so what happens is is thatyou just open it ajar hopefully youroven to let it like crank over just
