Hi all,

     So I'm having some trouble.  Whenever I bake THIS Mud Cake recipe, I end up with a hard crust on top, and an empty space about an inch deep, then a wonderfully delicious, moist cake below!  I don't really mind, because there is so much batter that I can basically make a normal sized cake with, but I would like to fix the problem.  I've seen that sometimes it's because of too much sugar, or the oven heat, or maybe something else.  I just wanted to know what you guys think!  One other thing I just remembered - if I do a smaller cake, (like 6 in.) then the gap is almost nothing, but the cakes do sink, (the large cake, which was 8 inches, was pretty level this time).

Thank you SO much!

- Shelby
