  Used currants instead of raisins, only because I don't like raisins. used half cherries and half pineapple and added some pecans which was nice. Delicious but beware easy to burn the top.

  I put more cherries than raisins. Really tasty. The only problem was slicing into thin slices like in the photoghraph. Will definitely make it again.

  I made this for my family as i don't like it myself and they loved it, it was hard to cut with a knife without ending up like doorsteps, but i tried a clean cheese board with a cheese wire attached and it was quite easy.

  I haven't tried this recipe yet. And am still not sure if I will - husband is diabetic, so I try not to have too much swet stuff available. Though I think that something like this would actually work quite well - cos you'd only take one piece! As far as the cutting goes, if it's so difficult to cut a thin slice - why not cut a thick slice, then cut that into 2 or 3 or 4 up and down, to get a "thick stick"? You'll still get a share of the fruit and nut - and it is much easier to eat a thick stick than a thin slice!

  I have made this twice now and it is always good. With reference to Thora Allans comment, perhaps try putting a sheet of baking parchment or greaseproof paper loosely over the top when baking to prevent over browning. Well done Mary Cadogan for inventing something nice for high cholesterol people.

  Just wonderful.I used the tip with the greaseproof and had no trouble. On the issue of dairy free maybe Barbara you need some help with the definition it means free of milk and milk products. As far as I am aware eggs come from chickens!

  I haven't made this cake yet, but with all the fruit in it i think the sugar is not needed. I am going to give it a try without and let you all know.

  Roberta this recipe does not state it is for vegetarians! Made this for my lovely friend who is lactose intolerant and to say she was grateful is an understatement! Makes the house smell christmassy =]

  This is lovely! When I bake, I never usually want to eat what I've made (I know that's a bit strange!). This, however, I have been nibbling non-stop! Thumbs up!

  I made this for Christmas Eve and everyone loved it! My daughter is Milk intolerant so this was a perfect recipe. I even put a roll of marzipan in the middle to make it more like Christmas Stolen.
