Question:

Too much liquid in my cake mixture. what do i do?!?!?

after putting in the cake mixture, i realised i put about 50% too much cream in. oops

it is now still runny after being in there 10 minutes longer than instructed

should i just wait it out and hope it dries up?

i put foil over the top so the top doesnt burn....

Throw it away, Get a cake at a bakery, And realize your not Betty Crocker, Why waste your time and have your guests force that garbage down their throat, And between gaging telling you how good it is. HELLO

Put more flour in. Or cook it longer and lower temperature.

Put in a second amount of every other ingredient and make two cakes.

I was going to say add flour but you already put it in the oven... sorry but that is going to be pudding pretty much permanently

When you put too much cream in you should have put an extra 50% of all the ingredients in and made a bigger cake. unfortunately i'm not sure it will come out ok now as there is simply too much liquid. you risk over cooking the rest of the ingredients if you cook it longer and i don't think it will set. sorry :(

This is one of those times you need to just start over. Sorry. As others have said, there's nothing you can do once it's been in the oven. The texture won't improve.

Id get rid and start again it cant be salvaged the recipe is already ruined. the reason recipes are given is so that you dont make any mistakes try following any recipe to the letter then you should get perfect results. I am a very good baker but I still always check my recipes, I always have good results and very tasty cakes etc.

more thickening agents

add some more flour
