@CrazyKittyLvr2

I admire your restraint, only calling him a knucklehead is so miled next to what I would call him. 

 

@Shepherd  no need to be so rude

Re: What A Sweetheart My Neighbor Is.

@Terrywu   Well,  my oven went wonky, and it did not cook all the way through. Poor DD, the very top looked great but when she put a toothpick in it was wet.  She said a few choice words.  lol

 

The very top inch and probably a 1/2 inch around the whole cake was done.  The rest was half cooked.

 

The very edge was wonderful.  I have to get a new stove, it's 14 yrs. old and I'm not fixing this one.

 

We will do the cake again.

Re: What A Sweetheart My Neighbor Is.

Ours keeps sending gifts whenever my DH brings in her mail. He's to the point of not wanting to tell me there's another present under the tree! Yes, we give her gifts, but only three small ones this year.

@LizzieInSRQ   After the 40 minutes at 350 and it was still not cooked she put itin for 10 more minutes.  It was weird, the toothpick came out clean in one spot and 1/2 inch away it was just  batter.

 

I told her to cover the top and jack the temp to 375 for 10 minutes.  Very tip top layer and perimeter was cooked rest was not.

 

It looked great.............until you tried to cut it.  Batter does not cut well.  lol
