Not sure what went wrong, as I followed the recipe and cooked the cake for 75 minutes (until a skewer came out clean). I poured the syrup over the cooked cake and let it sit for a few hours. When I returned the cake had sunk in the middle, 80% of the syrup had puddled and soaked into the centre and all but the outer edges of the cake had a wet, stodgy texture. I probably should have cooked the cake a little longer before putting the syrup on as the fruit mixture was very cold after sitting in the tea mixture in the fridge overnight and perhaps took a while to heat up. I do love the flavour of the pieces of cake we were able to eat so I will need to make some adjustments if I'm to bake this one again.
