The ingredients for this recipe look great, but the recipe makes me nervous, separating the ingredients and putting the wet ingredients under the heading of filling ingredients. Also, the directions state that 2\/3 of the batter should be spread in a pan, and it never says what to do with the rest of the batter. I would assume I need to make layers, but when a recipe is missing something like this I have to wonder if it is also missing a key ingredient and I pass it up!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"04\/22\/2010 07:22","GUID":"e6d2edb8220740f3bacc555c4bec3786","MemberId":4222810,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"naumpau","SubmittedDate":"04\/22\/2010 07:22"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"12\/12\/2009 16:20","GUID":"d7c144c27c604b22803cfde82fc93158","MemberId":4671346,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"elz001","SubmittedDate":"12\/12\/2009 16:20"},{"Comment":"
