5. Heather Miskulin says:

   Do you have to microwave the choc chips with butter or fat in order to melt right? I've never been able to microwave them without butter or milk n not burn them or have them get hard n chunky.....

    Hi Heather!
    
    I didn't have a problem melting them in the microwave. Just keep an eye on them making sure you don't melt them too long. If you are worried about it, you could add a little butter, milk or oil!

    This 'cake' was more like brownies, and it was very dry. I suspected that would be the case when the batter that you were supposed to 'pour', was so thick that you could only spread it, with difficulty. It really need more liquid than the minimal oil, sour cream and eggs. It wasn't dry due to overbaking either, because I baked it for the minimum 25 minutes.

    This batter is so thick and gooey it's very hard to 'pour' into the pan and then spreading around was very difficult, it kept wanting to bounce back and not stay at the edges. I re-read the recipe several times to make sure I did everything correct. Just putting it into the oven now. I hope it turns out okay.

    The cake turned out great, super yummy, despite the difficulty 'pouring' out the batter into the cake pan and spreading it around. I didn't measure exactly but I added a little more oil and evaporated milk than called for to try to make it a little more workable. It worked - it was great! The only other difficulty was melting and 'drizzling' the choco chips. Not thin enough when melted to 'drizzle' over the cake. So I substituted drizzling a little chocolate sauce I had instead and it was heavenly.

    Despite the batter being so thick and gooey it was difficult to 'pour' into the pan, the cake turned out wonderful - so delicious!! I didn't measure exactly how much but I added a LITTLE more oil and evap. milk so it wouldn't be so thick and it turned out great. The only other thing was my choco chips wouldn't melt in a way that it could be 'drizzled' over the top - it also was too stiff and gooey. So I substituted some chocolate sauce I had and it was perfect!!
