Great cake and really easy to make gluten free . Love that there's no butter in it too! - 16 Jul 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Very easy and delicious with a sort of European feel to it because of all the nuts and the coffee glaze. I used less icing sugar in the glaze (150g) and it still seemed thick enough. - 08 Oct 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Put heaped tsp mixed spice in as I didn't use rum, but wanted a spicier flavour. Texture was perfect, though I did have to cook it for about 10 mins longer than stated. I used a loaf tin. Perfect way to use up some of the hazel nuts from the garden - 18 Aug 2017 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
