  Lovely recipe but couldnt really divide into three so divided into two which was fine. I agree with the comments about reducing sugar a little. It is a very sweet mixture. Delicious and I would make again..

  Easy and quick, but impossible to cut into three layers. As we're no particular fans of buttery icing, I put into some homemade jam (form prunes), mixed with some spirit :-) My husband loved it very much and ate his share at once!

  As above, easier to cut in 2 layers, rather than 3. Very good cake & very easy to make. Delicious!

  I didn't dare to slice my cake so thinly so I made it with traditional 2 sponge layers. I added extra coffee as it was a birthday cake for my husband. Very tasty but the coffee butter cream was quite sickly so no huge portions!

  Nice cake but you do need to up the quantities of flour, butter, etc. Left out the walnuts (adding them as decoration)...everyone loved it and was a great success!

  Well, i made my cake, rose at a very small rate and has fallen in in the middle :( very disapointed as im a good cook :( looks like a very sad cake!! but im glad i did a test run as i was meant to be making it for my bfs cricket team this weekend... i think ill try again before the weekend.. maybe with larger amounts of everything as it didnt make much mixture... maybe because i have a fan oven?? it was also cooked way before 40 mins, 25 i think?

  I made this recipe for the first time a week ago. I used a loaf tin and cut the cake in two, using just 150g of icing. It was delicious. Am making one for my grandsons school summer fete so I hope it turns out ok!

  I did not have a deep cake tin so instead used 3 normal cake tins. I was dissapointed with how the cakes turned out as they didn't rise very well and were about 1cm thick. I continued to make the cake however and as it turns out it tasted really good. I would only split the cake into two, or double up on ingrediants and halve the batter into two cake tins.

  I made this for my Dad's birthday! im writing this whilst its cooling but it looks really good! when i looked at the recipe and read the comments, i realised that the quantities were too small. I then halved the recipe and timsed it by five. I then spilt into two cake tins and did a two layer cake instead of three. It has worked out great!

  The recipe was flawed for the following reasons: 1) The cake didn't rise 2) The amounts seem wrong - not enough cake mix, too much icing 3) The cake didn't rise 4) The cake was not big enough to split in half, let alone two cuts. 5) Way too much butter - 325g (I felt like I was oozing butter from my pores after only one slice - gross!) Needless to say, I won't be trying this recipe again - really disappointing.

  Didn't rise at all. Only way to use it was make the whole thing again and use both cakes together.

  Made my own coffee-vanilla buttercream frosting which went between the layers (just a 2 layer didn't try to split it into 3!) Really nice light cake, made a stronger coffee as suggested by other reviews!
