  Be sure to have fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of drinking water on hand for that is all you will able to consume for the next 24 hours after eating a slice of this cake. You feel the density of this cake as the evening progresses. O rating from me

  I've baked loads of recipes from BBC Good Food, but never felt the need to comment. THIS CAKE IS AMAZING! I have a huge sweet tooth, so would probably cover in white chocolate next time as the crunch of the topping works really well. I also laced with lemon drizzle and put crushed almonds on the top as I couldn't find the coffee sugar. Highly recommend this recipe!

  Afraid this cake wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. More like a pudding. Had it with custard as it was so dense, and it took so long to prepare and a lot longer to cook than stated. Don't think I'll bother again.

  The recipe says use a small pan to melt butter in, but a larger one is needed if all the ingredients are mixed in the same pan. My cake is still cooking so can't comment on flavour, but was very easy to make.

  One of the nicest cakes I have ever eaten. I didn't do the topping but I looked up the recipe for a butterscotch sauce that is normally put with Sticky Date Puddings and used that instead. I had the cake warm with the warm sauce and it was absolutely beautiful. Will definitely be making it again.
