I made this cake found it a nice rich moist cake. Very easy to make, was a hit with my family in Tunisia - 05 Dec 2016
This is a good easy recipe, and made a lovely moist loaf cake. It really doesn't need a frosting as it's rich enough without one. I followed the recipe (used oil instead of butter) and I added a good sized handful of sultanas. Worked a treat, and I am definitely making it again. Thanks - 03 Jul 2016
