Fast, Fresh, Simple Donna HayTips/Hints:The original recipe says 40 minutes but it always takes at least 50 in my oven. It's not like a regular cake, when a tester is inserted it might still be a little soggy and maybe have a few wet spots on top. If you cook it until it's "dry" it will lose it's moist fudginess which makes it so irresistible!
