"After reading the generally good reviews I was surprised to find such glaring errors in Emeril's cake recipe.
I was already a little uneasy after mixing the ingredients--the consistency was wetter than the average cake batter, and seemed like far to much for a single layer cake. As I suspected the cake was still soupy when I pulled it out at 20mins, and did not cook through until almost 45mins in the oven! I found this very curious, as no-one else mentioned having this issue, so I went back and double checked everything I had done. Yes, the recipe was followed to the "t".
All other components are delicious, but I would recommend using a different cake recipe if you plan to make this.
