  Made this cake, went down a treat! Lovely textured sponge, dense and moist. Mixing the caramel in with the cream is a fantastic idea and I will remember that in future. Am making another tomorrow!

  Absolutely gorgeous! Made for boyfriends birthday party � went down really well. Used shop bought toffee sauce & used food processor throughout but worked just as well � light fluffy & decadent!

  Didn't like this at all - the cake was dry and bitter. I have no luck with chocolate cake

  lovely i have made it today for my daughters 7th birthday;only used half the volume of cream (elmlea to further skinnify) and replaced topping with melted chocolate; used reduced fat soured cream and utterly butterly which has lower sat fats and omega fats ...so it wasn't quite a diet breaker!...

  Made this for a family Sunday tea, everyone loved it. Especially the caramel. However I found that the lid of the cake kept sliding off the cream, so make sure you really whip the cream and just be careful if transporting!

  Help please! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, have just made this today for 2nd time as first time the cakes didnt rise. Followed everything to the letter and the same thing has happended again. The cakes are only about 1 inch high and quite a heavy dense texture - should they not be deeper and lighter? Any tips would be greatly appreciated - its not cheap to keep getting it wrong!

  I need help as well, having same problem as mymeals. I baked this cake this morning and I have started again this afternoon.This time have used 2 rounded tsp baking powder and I have put all the cake mix into one cake tin - now have my fingers crossed, It has risen but I can't tell how dense it will be yet. I am wondering if it is because mymeals and I may have both used a bamix/hand blender rather than a food mixer or traditional fork,spoon etc please let me know what you used.

  Sorry that you are having problems mymeals and pynner. This cake is rather rich and indulgent so it will look quite dense. If both your cakes are 1inch high I would have thought that is about right - piled on top of each other that will look quite impressive.

  Can't deny it, this was a massive success for a summer evening dinner party. However, I had a bit of trouble getting the "sponge" cakes right. I had to put them back in the oven for a bit more than recommended. I didn't have any shop-bought caramel, so I mad my own butterscotch (by heating a cup of sugar with half a cup of water and adding cream when caramel turns amber). And I used cream cheese mixed with icing sugar for the cream filling. It went down a treat.
