"I copied this from Radio Times and it's gas mark 3, but the first attempt was not quite done at 40 minutes- I finished it off in the microwave to be honest- the second one I left in 50-55 minutes and this was perfect. Far too much filling, even if you attempt to cram it all in it seeps out the sides. I would say half is probably fine, maybe a bit more but it's just impossible to get all of it in the cake and I binned a lot of it. As I say I made two; one looked like the picture, the other I decorated with white chocolate for a different look, but in both versions the cake turns out very picturesque and it went down very well with everyone that ate it. Don't eat too much though- it is very, very filling and I worked out all the calories and it's about 560 cal per 1/12 cake. No good at all for dieters. "
