This recipe was great, so simple and extremely moist. Because I was using a glass baking dish the edges were getting darker than the middle so 15 minutes into baking I reduced the oven temperature to 325 to allow it to bake more evenly. A lot of people on here said that they reduced the amount of sugar because they thought it would be too sweet; but I add the directed amount and I thought it was perfect ?? My only issue, which really isn\u2019t an issue at all is they are calling it a square, but it is definitely more cake like which isn\u2019t a bad thing.
