Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disaster! I made this cake at the weekend for our gym halloween day bake. This was for funds to help students with mental health issues. It was a disaster. It looked good but when you cut into it, it looked like there were large pieces of marzipan through it. I don't know if it was meant to look like that, but people thought it was not thoroughy baked. I tested it with a cake tester and it came out clean after 70 mins of baking. In fact, it was getting rather dark and I didn't want to overcook it. So disappointed and I was so embarrased too. I decided to take the cake out of the sale. On another note, I made the Rice Mummy Bars and they turned out perfectly.
