way to sweet and a pain in the butt to make. I was so excited to make this for V-day for my boyfriend and it caved in the middle. I let it cool and took it out of the pan and it broke. My boyfriend who was a very big sweet tooth even thought this was way too sweet. It made a big mess and it took a lot of time so I will be tossing this recipe in the trash along with my broken, caved in too sweet pound cake that no one will eat :(

Ok before I made this I read all the reviews..all very interesting.I did have to bake it longer..about a half hour more..but what we don't realize is that everyone's oven is different .so no problem there, I did put it on a cookie sheet to bake it because of the lady who said it over flowed in her oven..and as to TOO MUCH CARMEL?? NO,do not us jumbo carmels they are just little kraft carmels, you only use 2 Tablespoons per layer..the rest you drizzle on each slice as you serve it, and if you happen to have extra after that..YUM put it over ice cream...if it sank too much in the middle I think you put too much in and did not swirl it enough, so there was no cake in your center..and yeah it would sink..this cake turned out so good for me, I did not use parchment paper I sprayed my non stick loaf pan and when it pulls away from the pan it is done. Will make again and again..

very tasty...I made with natural peanut butter and it seemed to cook right for 55 minutes (I was worried after reading previous reviews, but our oven usually cooks quick - very sweet and rich...recipe makes A LOT of caramel to top with! Would make again!

Well...I finally made this cake after reading all the reviews..some had problems, some did not. I did what some reviewers did and that was...baked it a little longer and tested it every ten minutes after the hour was up, so about 30 minutes later it was done. I used a small knife to test with and it came out clean, let it cool, use that parchment paper!! and it was wonderful, the edges were a bit crispy, but that's fine, the middle did not drop, this is going to be great after dinner with some vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of the warmed up caramel sauce left over. I will make this again, maybe use less heavy cream next time,. Thanks to Giada and all the reviewers comments!!!

This cake is delicious -- it's like you're eating a candy bar! I've made the recipe 3 times and it came out great each time. For the caramel mixture I used-- 12 Kraft caramels and 3 Tbsp heavy cream. This is enough for 1 cake. I made sure to swirl the caramel mixture well into the cake batter. Then I cooked it somewhere between 1-1/2 and 1-3/4 hours. I kept testing it every 10 minutes after the 1 hour listed in the recipe until my cake tester came out dry. After cooling, the center did sink in the middle, but that was noted in the recipe. When I serve my 3rd cake tomorrow, I may drizzle it with a little melted chocolate, as I thought drizzling with the extra caramel sauce, as recommended, made it just too sweet and covered up the flavor of the cake. This is a very rich, moist cake. Enjoy!

I wish I had looked at the reviews before trying this cake. I cooked if for an hour and it tested done all over, including the middle, so took it out and let it cool. Boy did it "cave in" in the center. When I went to cut it, the center was almost like not done and way to peanut buttery for me.
I agree with a previous response that the caramel was way too much. Will try about half the caramels next time. I will definitely try this recipe again and will possibly try a little less peanut butter. I'll also cook it longer even though it tests done.

I have not been able to do this one, as I was unable to print the recipe for my use.
