This is a beautifully moist recipe. I substituted the flour for a gluten free varietyand it is one of the best results I have had with any cake I've tried. New family favourite - 03 Oct 2012
Excellent cake. Very moist. A 50cm pan is obviously ridiculous. So too would be a 50mm pan. I used a round 20cm pan. - 05 Jun 2015
Delicious and healthy. The pan size in the ingredients is however wrong - think it should be 50mm not 50cm - 04 Aug 2010
