I made this cake for my girlfriend for Valentine's day and she loved it! It was the first time I had cooked for her so I wanted to make something to impress, and this sure did the trick. I wanted an extra rich cake so I made it with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The cake ended up lasting a long time just because it was so hard to actually be able to finish a big piece it was so rich and filling. When you make it you should NOT cut it immediately. I'd say that the cake was sitting for around 20-25 minutes before I sliced it, just because it came out of the oven and then had to wait until we finished the first course. If you watched the episode the lady said that you should no expect the center to be fully cooked. All in all I'm very pleased with this recipe. It was very quick to make, and there actually weren't as many dirty dishes as some people were complaining about.
