  Have made this cake three times now and, although it is delicious, the cooking time/temp is definitely wrong... I've found that if I cook it for 50 minutes at 140 fan it is still uncooked in the middle. 20 additional minutes at a higher temp 160 fan and it is perfect!

  As others have said it was not nearly ready in my fan oven after the suggested time. It was moist but I was not sure about the almonds and the texture they gave. I did not get much elderflower flavour and the idea about putting some in the actual cake might be good. I may try the topping again as I like the idea but with a different cake mixture.

  I made this cake to take as a gift and I left it very late so as soon as the cake was cooked i wrapped it in clingfilm to take on the train with me. As it turned out i think I must have ended up steaming the cake in the process but it made it very light and moist! Would do the same again.
