  I've made this a couple of times now and it's turned out really well. But instead of making a butter icing, I used a more traditional cream cheese icing. All 3 ceoliacs in my family loved it.

  I have now made this cake several times for my golf club halfway house. We did not realise how many competitors required gluten free cake and I volunteered to make one. This is very easy to follow and I have not amended any of the ingredients. It is extremely moist and the comments have been most complimentary. Will keep on making.

  Very easy and quick recipe. We used less sugar and more cinnamon (and didn't bother with the icing). Delicious! Moist and much better than many g/f cakes I've attempted.

  Great recipe, I substituted the raisins for 50g of pumpkin seeds. The cake was a lovely texture and consistency and took 55mins in a fan oven.

  If you are not a fusspot about Gluten then you can make this with normal person flour, it is much nicer!

  I have sent this to family that need plenty of variety with this and the "Beeb" has set it up perfectly. It is so quick and easy to share and I am most grateful so thank you very much.
