I'd have to go back and find it, it's been a while. It was some baking that needed a lot of eggs. The only thing I could imagine that might use that much would be the Japanese Cheesecake but I don't think that was the one.
It's actually an ongoing problem with the entire BCU. I love those guys dearly but they have lot of inconsistencies with their posted recipes versus what they're turning out on the show and occasionally what they're saying vs what they're doing.
I used to frequent the subreddit, whenever people would have trouble remaking a recipe I would jump in and try to offer recommendations on how to fix what was wrong. Check your thermostat on your oven, add some thermal mass to your oven, yada yada. Sometimes just a little adjustment on time or temperature was enough to help them out. It was good to start teaching them to gauge doneness instead of just following a recipe that couldn't possibly account for their local situation. Many times, either the posted recipe or the voice-over recipe would have way too much liquid.
I'd go and search out their recipe by ingredients and amount, more often than not they were just using a King Arthur's flour recipe or something of the sort. It honestly looked like somebody was just trying to bouge up the recipe a little bit but instead of adding a little more they accidentally add a little more three times.
I get it. I see stuff like this surprisingly often on popular food channels.
