mine didn't turn out as I hoped. Once reading the recipe over and over trying to figure out what I did wrong I see that you need to use TWO cake tins. I didn't have two so would have not picked this recipe to make. I changed to fan baked after the 30mins as it clearly wasn't set. Cake is moist and yum to eat but the top was a little hard. Also I wasn't too sure I'f I needed to have soft butter or melted etc. recipe needing mode detail. - 26 May 2012
