I baked this in a 8x8 pan. The edges were a bit dry and the center sank not completely cooked and I baked for 50 minutes. I suggest baking in a bundt pan for more even baking. I did add some crushed walnuts to the topping. Chocolate chips would be great in this. Taste was very good. And very easy to make.
