  I made this for a sunday lunch and was a real hit altho i think i could have used less sugar as it came out tasting really sweet - great for my sweet tooth, but probably not for the others! I think either add less sugar or less syrup into the main cake bit and it'll be perfect!

  I made this for my mother on Mothers Day and was told by both my mum and dad that it was the best cake they had ever eaten! It is deliciously moist with a fantastic flavour and consistency. Highly recommended!

  I made this yesterday for my daughter's birthday dinner and served the cake as dessert with a dollop of ice cream. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The cake was easy to make and delicious to eat (and it looks impressive too!). I will definitely make it again.

  I made this for dessert on Monday night. Delicious! My partner and I both wolfed it down! I was lucky enough for there to be some left the morning after, so I finished it off with my morning tea! Will be making this on a regular basis!

  This was an old favourite from my childhood and when my kids were small. Found the recipe in the Good Food and a great hit for the grandchildren too!! Then lost my recipe but thrilled to trace it on the website, so now printed and in my file.

  Have made this 3 times now - definitely a favourite. Ideal with custard or icecream. Freezes really well too.

  I just made this cake tonight and it was a big hit. Lovely, warm with custard. I think this cake would be ideal for beginners as it was so easy to make. Definitely make again.

  I thought this was a great cake. I added half again of the cake mixture as I had a lot of mouths to feed. The cake was lovely and moist. Deliscious served warm with icecream. Everyone really enjoyed it. Will definitely make again.

  I made this recipe last week and it was pefect and everyone loved it. I made it in a loose bottom cake tin and the sugar syrup fell ont all over my aga floor! Major mess! So making it again today I used a fixed bottom tin and the cake was a disaster, cooked on the outside and a sloppy raw mess in the centre (even tried it a 2nd time but still no luck). Why? Should I go back to letting the juices run out all over my oven for this to work!! Don't think I can stand the smell of burnt sugar all night again!

  This is delicious and so easy. Complete store-cupoard receipe and whipped up in minutes. May not sound sphisticated but that sticky toffee top wins everyone over at a dinner party.

  Fantastic! Barely made it out of the oven before it was gobbled up. It's very colourful and tastes fresh and light, the cake mixture is so perfect you could use it for any cake dessert.

  i made this cake with my 3 year old and we had lots of fun. Tasted great and will definitely be making it again. I used less sugar in the cake, 80g as I am watching my sugar intake but it still came out fab. I would advise though if you are using a loose bottom tin like I did to have a tray underneath to catch the syrup.

  I bake this cake using gluten free flour so add additional Xanthan Gum and use pineapple rings in juice not syrup. I do put the loose bottomed tin I bake this in on a sheet of foil to stop the toffee escaping to the bottom of the oven and then I can eat the toffee on the foil...... cooks perk don't ya know.... Fantastic recipe and the cake is baking in the oven right now.
