Oh my. We had high hopes for this, based on the former reviews, but there were just too many tastes going on. Lemon, cloves (waaay too much), pumpkin, and chocolate just didn't end up jelling at all. The top burned while the batter remained still raw in the middle. I didn't dare try to continue to cook it further. Based on the "amazing" review, again, I had high hopes, but again, they just didn't pan out.
