Allow to cool in the tin slightly (about 10-15 minutes) then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
