  37g of fat per serving - not very healthy even as a treat.

  Sounds fantastic but the fat and calorie count are scary.

  I followed this recipe EXACTLY, and it was like a BRICK! SO solid and not very sweet, considering the 600g of sugar in it! Wasn't sure it was supposed to be plain flour... Wouldnt recommend it at all.

  i too was disappointed with this cake. The flavour was good but it was dry and i cooked it exactly as the recipe. It is very large and serves more than 10 portions. In the picture it looks as though it has been cooked in a round tin but the recipe states a rectangular tin which doesn't make for a dinner party pudding, rather more a traybake.

  This recipe did not work at all well - much too sweet and heavy as a brick! Self raising flour instead of plain? An expensive waste of ingredients

  I halved the ingredients and put the mix in a square tin. It's not very cake-like at all... more of a coconut brownie. However, it tasted very good!
