  1. Followed instructions. Cake still liquid at 40 mins in oven @ 170 degrees. How do you tell when it is cooked?

    1. The recipe says 170 degrees CELSIUS (that's about 338 Fahrenheit)! Maybe that's the problem?

  2. Hey anon. Check your oven temp with an oven thermometer to make sure it's up to temp. The cake is quite moist and it will continue to cook as it cools. It also sets up in the fridge and is a dense, moist cake. I always bake it for 40 mins exactly and it always turns out perfectly. Hope this helps.
