  Excellent. I made this with 170 g Dove's Gluten-Free self-raising flour (instead of the combined wholemeal and ordinary self-raising flours) and it was so good that my non-gluten-free friends never noticed it was gluten-free! Topped it with walnuts from our own garden!

  Excellent recipe, turned out moist and was very filling. Only used half of the amount suggested for the topping - was more than enough for us!

  This is a lovely moist cake. I followed the recipe as directed. The only change I made was to half the ingredients for the topping, otherwise it is far too much.

  I was really disappointed with this recipe, made this for Mother's day and it was really dry, cooked if for 15 mins less than it needed as well! Will stick to my usual carrot cake recipe that was passed down by my Great Grandma.

  Made 3 of these cakes in as many weeks. Work colleague said it was one of the best cakes she'd ever tasted. I agree it's a fab recipe. Problem with the icing on 1st attempt. Took cream cheese straight from fridge and it formed blobs with the room temperature butter which I had to strain as it just wouldn't mix. Now I don't add any butter - would suggest just use cream cheese, icing sugar and a few drops vanilla essence. Perfect.

  Wonderful cake, but I needed to cook at 180 C in my fan oven otherwise it sank in middle. Made it time and time again, and passed on recipe to friends who agree it is pretty amazing, plus very healthy.

  Oh this cake is fabulous! So easy to make and tastes like James himself made it!! I will definitely make it again. I actually put orange-flavoured (and orange coloured) chocolate buttons on top as well as walnuts and it looked brilliant! Make this cake, you will not be disappointed!

  second time of making, really easy to make . I spread just butter cream through the center making it easier to slice and wrap for lunch boxes, healthier than a lot of other lunch box fillers and very tasty
