I followed the directions exactly and baked for the lesser amount of time. The cake looked beautiful--didn't fall, which is a problem for me at altitude. But the cake itself was extremely dry, which came through even though I used it as a base for ice cream cake. Sorry. If anyone has any suggestions how to make this better, I'd be willing to try again, since it really did look perfect.
