agreed, filling is pretty liquidy. I kept out the liquor and I added some corn/pot starch to thicken. Put in fridge solidified it more. Cake was thinner than expected, but didn’t break.

the cake cracked upon rolling. it was rolled while hot.
the filling is way too runny and this was without adding the liquor.
the filling is running out of the cake from every crack.
