Stovetop Dutch Oven Chocolate Cake
I made my first chocolate cake today using the steamed method in my Dutch Oven. It turned out great until I took it out of the pan. The bottom of the cake (now on top) was not fully cooked. Could it be put back into the Dutch Oven and cooked longer after it already cooled?

Hi Kathleen - Unfortunately, I don't think you could have saved it. In order to cook the under-baked part, the whole cake would have to be heated all the way through. This would cause the already-baked parts to over-bake and become dry. To test when this cake is finished, the cake should spring back when poked in the center with your finger. If your finger leaves an indentation in the cake, it's not done yet. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
