   from heat. Cool. Stir often. Whisk eggs into mixture, one
   at a time. Beat well after each addition. Fold in flour and
   peanuts until well mixed. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake
   30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes
   out clean. Cool on rack 1/2 hour. Invert cake onto rack.

   glaze over cake. Let stand 15 minutes. Using a spatula put
   any glaze that runs onto paper under cake back on top of
