    This was lovely! Served them after lunch in the garden on Sunday and they went down very well indeed. The creme de cassis was perfect in them.

    Yep - another thumbs up from the family for this one. Simple to make, used cherry liqueur as I wasn't going to buy strawberry liqueur just for this, and it went down a treat on a lovely sunny August Sunday.

    I seem to be in the minority here, but I found it far too dry. Maybe it was the brand of madeira cake I used. I was a little wary of adding too much alcohol, but if I were to make it again (unlikely) I'd add some fruit juice.

    I've made this several times now, so easy and everyone loves it - I use cassis, and you do need a fair bit to make the sponge nice and moist, but no-one seems to complain!

    Didn't believe that this would taste as good as it looked - but it did, and more! The quicked and easiest dessert ever. I used Strawberry Grenadine Syrup instead of liqueur as it was cheaper (about £3 outta Tesco) and non-alcoholic - fab alternative, though did use quite a bit.

    This was so easy and looked fab. Great for my dinner party as it ment that I wasn't away from my guests making complicated last minute desserts. Not at all heavy like traditional trifle.
