Cake not cooked enough- is it too late to put it back in the oven?

[winnybella]

Moelleaux au chocolat- so either I didn't put enough flour or something's up with my oven. Made it an hour ago and just had a taste and it's all goo- albeit with a lovely crust on top- but so gooey that you can't even transport a slice to a plate. Usually the come out all nice and crusty outside and softer inside.

Anyway, my question is : what would happen if I put the almost cooked, but now cold cake in the oven?

Try it & see

I can't see how it would 'spoil' it any more than it is already spoilt

Careful it doesn't burn - it might work & it might set......or it might not

Thanks, KatyMac.
It's not inedible though, you see, so I was hoping for someone having had a similar experience- I would rather have a gooey cake than none!

What's the worst that can happen?

Either it sets or it doesn't; if it doesn't you are no worse off are you?

I think burning is the only risk

But that's the way moelleux au chocolat is supposed to be!

Katy- well, I tried to put a slice in a microwave just to see what would happen and it wasn't pretty, so just wanted to get some reassurance.

ib- yes, but it's not the little gateau, like a cupcake that's supposed to spill when you cut into it iyswim, it's a flat, round cake you can buy in bakeries here- it's got the sort of creamy texture inside but it's supposed to be well set. This one is basically like a cake mixture with a thin crust on top.

But me and DH keep on stealing little spoonfuls right now, so I think it'll be gone soon, anyway.

it's too late to put it back in the oven.

should be fine

my cake took much longer than expected this week and i needed to go swimming...

so i turned oven off and left cake inside
came back an hour later and turned oven on, gave it another 20mins and it was absoluetly fine...

you wouldnt be able to tell or guess at all

(but cake was still in tine and didnt leave the oven)

Thanks nannyl, will remember for the next time.

Too late now: half of it is gone- DD loved it: all gooey and spreadable .
