  Deliciously moist! I only had 100g of golden syrup so made up the rest with black treacle. I think the tin I used was a tad too small as I had problems getting the cake out as it had risen slightly over the edges - tasted good though so no matter!

  Lovely! I made this originally for family, it went down so well that I made it again for a club function - it went like hot cakes once the first person had tried it! And I have been asked for the recipe - another convert for the Good Fodd web-site.

  A good way to use a glut of home grown rhubarb. I cut in half and froze half - worked well.

  This overflows in my large loaf tin and I end up cooking for almost 2 hours. It still tastes good but I need to shave off the overcooked overspill. Currently trying one in a deep 18cm round tin to see if I can get better results

  Has anyone had success using a different size tin from the one stated in the recipe? It is an unusual size - bigger than all my loaf tins - and I'd like to avoid buying yet another one! I don't mind what shape it is. Thanks.

  Very easy to make. I didn't have crystallised ginger so used a couple of handfuls of currants. I'm going to try this with cooking apples when I've used up all my rhubarb.

  I made this with the leftover rhubarb from the Rhubarb and Custard Tart and found it equally delicious. Glad to see it can be frozen as half of it is already in my freezer. One thing I found was that it didn't rise and some of it cascaded out of the tin into the oven! I thought I'd made it to recipe with the right size tin, thoughts anyone?

  Just made this with Doves gluten free SR flour and it's turned out brilliantly. Made gluten free for my husband so hope the rest of the family don't polish it off before he gets home! My tin was 11cm x 28cm & I would say perfect for the recipe. I only noticed once I'd put it in the oven that I forgot the milk, but it is very moist so I don't think it needs it with the gluten free flour.

  I have made this cake twice - and taken one into work where it disappeared by lunchtime and everyone loved it. It is delicous and very very very easy. Great for using the allotment rhubarb.

  Yummy yummy yummy. Just made two for my daughter to take back to uni with her ( if I can get them into the freezer before they're eaten!). I made one in a 2lb loaf tin and the other in an 8 inch spring release cake tin. The round cake took approx 15 mins extra cooking time.

  Delicious! I made it as a traybake instead of a tealoaf and cooked for 50 minutes. Used sultanas instead of crystallised ginger since I didn't have any. I also added a crunchy lime topping (warm up some lime juice, add equal amounts of sugar then pour over the warm, pricked cake top) because I had some limes to use up. Absolutely lovely, one of my favourite cakes!

  I have just been given a whole heap of rhubarb from a very kind neighbour and thus have been researching rhubarb recipes. Hence me making this cake. I wanted to steer clear from the usual crumble recipes! Unusually, the recipe calls for a 3lb loaf tin. Luckily I have one, so no overspill. The aroma of ginger is making me salivate as the cake bakes. Definitely a cake I shall make again...
