I didn't have much luck with this recipe that I made for 'zaar tag. The dough just seemed to be too wet. When I first took it out of the oven, after 40 minutes, it was not set, so I put it back in another 20, and let it sit to cool. After that, all but the middle piece was edible, (but think pudding cake, rather than snack cake). It did taste ok though, it's just that the texture was too wet and dense. I wish I could give this more stars, but I don't think I'll be making it again.
