This came out ok, at 30 minutes the cake was definitely done, perhaps 25-28 minutes would have been better. The cake was dry and the topping almost too sweet. Neither I nor DH wanted to have more after the first piece. I don't think I'd make this again. Edit: Apparently this is much better the next day. So I upgrade to 3 stars.
