  Delicious - I didn't have any coconut so I added chopped almonds. Success!!

  This was ideal for baking with my 4 and 5 year old daughters. I'll now translate the recipe into cup quantities so the children can do even more of it by themselves.

  I cut down the sugar slightly as my other half is diabetic and just increased the porridge oats and it worked a treat.

  Such a lovely cake! I baked this to use some desiccated coconut I needed to use. I read the comments and used 180 gr of sugar, 100gr of coconut, 50gr of oats, and raspberries/blueberries. 1h in the oven and it was perfectly moist! Will definitely make again!

  Absolutly delicious. Baked it so many times. I used 200g ordinary white sugar or caster sugar, added abit of milk to the mixture and I use any berries and even cherries (100g). It was baked in 45 mins.

  This is so easy to make and tastes lovely! I've tried the recipe with blueberries and raspberries too and work just as well.

  I made this the other day and it went down an absolute treat everyone adored it. I used light muscavado sugar instead of soft brown sugar and it was lovely. Really easy and I can't wait to make it again!

  I'm just about to put my 6th or 7th go at this in the oven. I also found the original recipe a little sweet so have experimented. I use 260g of soft light brown sugar and 40g of oats. I tweak the coconut to taste (90g today); and often mix white & wholemeal flour. We've made it with fresh & frozen cherries; mixed berries & raspberries but have found frozen blackerries work best. A great recipe and a firm favourite at our house. Blackberries are always in the freezer for this very purpose.

  Easy, tasty and great for the office. Even when I have to use frozen fruit in the winter, the tartness of the summer fruits (I like to use more than just blackberries) perfectly compliments the oats and coconut

  Can someone help - does the recipe call for salted or unsalted butter? How deep a tray should I be looking for? Thanks!

  This was delish! Second time making it and it is currently in the oven. First tim eround I did exactly as the recipe said. Took it to a buffet and it was all gone! This time, I substituted balckberries for frozen mixed berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries!). Reduced flour content to 200, and upped the oat content to 75g. Went crazy on the coconut because I love it. Sprinkled a layer of coconut on top of brries before the crumble topping. And on top of that I made a pattern with the oats, coconut and some cinnamon. Smells delcious - lets hope it all works out!

  This is so good. Only the second thing I have ever baked and it was just delicious. I used raspberries instead of blackberries, it was quite difficult to tell when it was done as the topping was so moist but hardened once cooled. Definitely make again, although the top went soggy the next day. Any excuse to eat it all in one day!

  Have made this several times, and the last couple of times we have used jam instead of the blackberries, just as nice if not better. One of the best cakes ever! :)

  I loved this recipe it was very easy to make. It was lovely to eat the first time I made it.It was eaten all up on the same day.I have given this recipe to three people as they liked it so much. I have made it with blackberries but I liked it with peaches better. I reduced the sugar and added more oats.I can see me making this again and again.
