I just made this. There's no way that I could turn this out onto a plate. It was tremendously soupy, even though the cake seemed to be done. I'm not sure if I should have cooked it longer or not... I'm thinking of trying it again, but this time, I would not use a whole can of frosting. HAS ANYONE MADE THIS AND HOW DID IT TURN OUT ?? 
I'm supposed to be making this at a party tomorrow... one that has 25 confirmed guests! YIKES... hehehe. this will be my biggest party ... Any suggestions before I ditch this recipe and dissapoint my host??

Thanks for the quick responses... I'm guessing that the sitting time is with the top on? If I only use half of the frosting, does it turn out more cake like? Mine was soup with some cake in it... lol
Now I'm second guessing myself and may change to the Pineapple Upside down cake... Oh.. the choices! lol
