I also had problems with the frosting thickening. Someone mentioned that it is running off the sides of the cake in the picture. That is true, but th frosting was still way too runny even compared to the picture. After cooking it for 40 minutes and it not thickening much I thought maybe it would thicken once I added the other ingredients and let it cool. I checked it when it was near cool and it was not thickening so put it in a sauce pan directly on the burner at med-high heat and brought to a full rolling boil, stirring almost constantly, and brought it up to 250 degrees (using a candy thermometer, if you don't have one they are cheap, I bought mine at walmart for about $3). I kept it boiling at 250 for about 10 minutes, still stirring almost constantly, and then removed it from the heat and let it cool. It was just loose enough that you could spoon it on top of the cake and spread it around. Several people said the cake took alot of time. Other than trying to get the frosting right, which I know now how to do it next time so it goes quicker, I found the cake very easy to make and it went very quickly.
