  This cake is awesome! I made it for my boyfriend who is obsessed with honey, it was so easy it turned out beautifully and tasted just as good.

  Had reservations about trying this after reading a few of the negative comments. I so glad I did, absolutely fantastic result. Did have a couple of problems while making - I allowed longer for the mix to cool before adding the egg and it did take quite a bit longer in the oven than the recipe says (oven may have been a bit cool (?)). Still turned out delicious though. I will certainly be making another.

  A great recipe for Jewish New Year. Tried with both honey and golden syrup. Both good but the syrup gives a slightly more spicy taste. And worked even with gluten free flour - no problems. Will definitely make again throughout the year.

  Delicious. Perhaps add some lemon zest, or a drop of vanilla.

  This is a really nice cake. I couldn't wait for the honey mix to cool so I popped the pan over a larger pan with cold water in and stirred until cool it works.

  As I keep bees, I am always on the look out for good honey recipes! This was turned out brilliantly, with the addition of 2 tsp ground ginger and 6 balls of chopped stem ginger, really delicious and incredibly easy. One comment mentioned cooling the mixture - just pour it into a cold bowl and stand in cold water and it is cool enough to mix in the eggs in no time.

  I can't see how you can get this recipe wrong unless your oven does not heat to the correct heat or you are opening the oven door during cooking. I added an extra egg as they were not large (laid by my hens in the garden) and used acacia honey. It is a delight.

  A very easy to make cake with a sweet warm flavour. I added powder ginger for a bit of spice. I would recommend this recipe to people like me who had experienced previous mishaps when baking and would like to keep things simple ;)
