Have made this several times now but never bake it in a 10" springform; it's just too big and the cake is too flat. I use a 9" and it still bakes about 40-50 min. It's a delicious cake that should be served with vanilla ice cream or unsweetened whipping cream. I'd think you could puree the batter ingredients several hours in advance then, later, whip the whites and combine & bake.

I can’t remember the bake time, but 50 minutes sounds a bit long to me. I would start checking at 35 min. Glaze - yes, while it is still warm. You may want to poke holes with a long toothpick all over the cake first so the glaze really absorbs.

I agree with the others in that a final edit to include timing is essential. That said, this is one of the most delicious and different cakes - super moist. I doubled recipe - one for a party and one for my family. Rave reviews all around with all palettes. "Killer Cake" was one comment. The glaze is a must.

How long do you bake it -- the 50 min. like her blog suggests? And do you use the glaze immediately after it comes out of the oven? I'd like to make this but her blog has disappeared and I'd like a few details before forging ahead. Thanks so much.

Intriguing recipe, but with so many typos and omissions, I'm not going to attempt it. Doesn't anyone proof-read submissions before they are published?
