   that baked cakes will slip out easily, grease inside of cans or pot
   well. (Lining bottom with waxed paper also will help.) Cover each
   container with a piece of foil greased on one side. Place greased
   side down and press foil around edges to seal tightly. Place cans or
   pot in a large pot with water to come about 1/2 way up the cans or
   smaller pot.  Cover; cook for 2 3/4 to 3 hours at a simmer or till
   cakes spring back when touched and a wooden tothpick inserted near
   the centers comes out clean. Remove cans or pot from cooker; cool 10
   minutes. Unmold cakes; remove waxed paper. Serve warm or cool with
   whipped topping, if desired.
