  These are delicious. I made them for the 'Big Lunch' and they went down a treat.

  Love this recipe! It's so easy to do and perfect results every time. I used plain flour and added 2 1/2 tsp baking powder and used vanilla yoghurt. No almond extract. I baked this as a simple cake and filled with cherry pie filling. Definitely a keeper. Also good for carving.

  Dead simple, really quick to throw together and results perfect every time. Cake keeps well and you get a good yield from 1 batch.

  This is lovely - will definitely be making it again, maybe with different types of jam?

  Have converted this to gluten free, and sometimes use sour cream. Is a firm favourite in our house, and for those i bake for, even more requested than the chocolate cake! SO TASTY!

  Just made this with lemon essence instead of almond and lemon curd in place of the jam. Yummy!

  I used fruits instead of jam and they didn't sink down either. I had to bake it about half an hour.

  Made these for a friend's confirmation party and was disappointed to find that the jam all sank to the bottom making them too sticky to arrange and transport. Might think about slicing the cake after cooling and sandwiching with the jam if I make them again. Cake tastes good.

  Seemed to take a lot longer to cook than the recipe says?

  This tasted delicious ....but.... the centre of my Bakewell was a still a bit "squidgy" when I cut into it.The outer edges were perfect it was just the centre.Anyone got a clue for me as to where I went wrong.

  I have made this recipe again and it was a lot better than my previous attempt.The tin I used the first time must have been too small resulting in a mix that was too thick as my second Bakewell was a lot better in a larger tin.Tasted lovely!!

  Nice and easy to prepare but the mixture was a bit dense and heavy in the middle and as much as I like raw cake mixture from the bowl, I am not so keen in a baked cake. Maybe it needed a little longer in the oven, but the skewer came out clean. Despite that, it will get demolished in no time :))
