I had a couple of issues with this cake, unfortunately. The middle wasn't done after 30 minutes. So I kept on checking on it and left it in 10 minutes longer. I wish I could've had it cook even longer as the middle still wasn't done all the way but the edges were going to burn. So I'll have to try and perfect this cake; either less filling in the middle or a different cooking method. So we'll see. But it still had a decent taste and the middle tasted like a gooey brownie. Hopefully next time will be a better turn out.
