Thanks for the recommendation! I’m definitely saving this recipe, and will make it as soon as my Toddy gets home from Ireland. (Afterall, if I make this while I’m by myself, I might eat the whole thing )

Hi Catherine! I love your blog. Your dessert recipes have encouraged me to pick up my baking tools after almost 20 years. I was assigned to bring dessert for an Easter potluck brunch, and while I would normally buy something, I decided to try making this. You were right. It is gooey, delicious and so easy!

I’m going to make this for Passover dinner, can you have ice cream or whipped cream at a Passover dinner?

I’m so glad everyone loved it! Thanks for letting me know. As for texture…it seems everyone likes it a different way. In our house we like to let it come to room temperature and sit a bit so it’s kind of gooey.

I made this cake this weekend when we had friends over–I was running late with it so I stuck it in the freezer as soon as it was done and by dessert time (a few hours later) the texture was perfect. My friend couldn’t stop telling me how great it was. Then my father dropped by the next day and tasted the leftovers and told me it was the best cake he’d ever had and I had to give his wife the recipe. I’d say that’s a successful cake . . . The one tip I have for someone making it for the first time is that you’re going to feel very worried that it’s not done enough when you take it out of the oven but I promise you that with refrigeration, it turns into exactly the cake you want it to be.
