I cooked this cake and it smelled soooooo good. I spent time and
money to get the ingredients and I enjoyed doing it. While it
was baking I was washing the bowls. That's when I noticed the
big glass mixing bowl had some chips of glass missing around the
top. It is an old bowl, but I noticed that when the mixer was
creaming it was hitting the bowl until I made some adjustments.
This bowl is old, but I just am cautious so I tossed the cake in
the garbage. It smelled good and looked good. I am going and buy
a stainless steel mixing bowl and make it again. BOO HOO!!!!!!!!
I guess my oven is hotter, but I left it in the oven for 1 hour
and maybe 20 minutes.
