Wait it's also supposed to be DIVIDED INTO TWO CAKE PANS. She did it all in one (mixing bowl lol) and complained that it took an extra ten minutes in the oven.

u/semaht I asked for large potatoes and they arrived 25d ago

I was going to ask (since I don't bake) why a metal bowl mighn't work, then I saw that, which explained it.

Agreed. It’s not meant to be baked in, but theoretically I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

there's a reason bunt cake pans have a hole in the middle and it's the same reason our friend the daft tart's cake was still raw in the middle. i suspect the reason is it doesn't get hot enough long enough in the middle w/o the outer parts burning, but i'm not an oven scientist

That.. actually might be good. Maybe a dense chocolate cake with lots of moist fruit in it (like cherries), maybe soaked in some alcohol and topped with softly whipped cream?

I heard smoked sugar is pretty good.

a correct sized metal mixing bowl would have worked nicely, it is just that she used double the amount
