Altered ingredient amounts. Made half quantity, used syrup instead of treacle (the recipe may have originally meant syrup, my mum used to call golden syrup "treacle"). Also what is a tube pan? I use a loaf tin. - 30 Nov 2010
please could you tell me what shape a tube pan is, the photo of the cake looks as if it is cut into squares, could i bake it in a square or round tin ? - 06 Aug 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. This recipe was quick and easy. I tried it out on my colleaugues and they all have to have the recipe! I have made it 3 times in one week and it is quickly becoming famous. I do recommend using 1/4 teaspoon cloves instead of 1 teaspoon. Also, I didn't need to cook as long as the recipe said. This recipe also works great witht he KitchenAide stand mixer. - 18 Jul 2008
