I love cheese... So 20 ounces sounds about right to me! I had a difficult time switching back and forth between volume measurements and weight measurements. I'd rather weigh something out in grams or ounces than try and and convert it from volume. It's so much more precise by weight! On the plus side, you've figured out what went wrong - I have no idea how I did that to the pavlova. Maybe the cocoa powder? I have no idea... Well..

Being French and used to the metric system I was still not so good with the all ounces thing. I wrote down the ingredients on my list. 2 oz of cream cheese when I read it in the store I thought 20. Which I used in the Lasagne. Yes, I used 10 times the amount of cream cheese. It was pretty bad although we attempted to it it. Thought it tasted weird, then I looked at the recipe again (as I should have when I was cooking) and realized what I had done. I felt pretty bad. I don't think I even attempted the recipe for an other two years, I was so ashamed of my stupidity. Ah ah, a lasagna recipe.
