Comments (mom): I found that I always had to bake it longer than the recipe says, but keep to the recipe and check if it is still too sloppy, then bake it a bit longer. The trick is not to bake it too long as it gets dry. Also, I never decorated it, it is nice just the way it is.

Another idea: add lemon (rind?) to centre layer.
