I don't know where to begin! The directions are incomplete. There is no way this would feed 12 people. I put the "cake" batter into a four inch spring form pan and it barely covered an inch of the pan. Once baked it had more of rubber consistency. I'm sorry, but this recipe did not live up to expectations!
