    If you bake at all you know that most recipes call for 350 degrees. I baked for about 30 min. It came out great - 10/6/09

    This is a yummy recipe and makes a very moist, flavorful cake! I used 1 cup of chocolate chips sprinkled on top of the cake while it was still hot from the oven. After they melted I spread them with a knife so that they made a frosting, and then sprinkled nuts on top of that. - 7/18/10

    Found it dense & not nice gooey. Maybe I needed to bake it more. I have other recipes to try so this one is not being kept. - 9/14/11

    a little more information would be great. do you cook it? if so at what temp? for how long? sounds good but I'm not going to eat a raw cake, especially with an egg in it! - 10/1/09

    Bake 325 degrees for 30 minutes - I usually use a glass pan.
