    Made this Morning, very simple and very yummy. I left out the sultana's. I might add some chocolate chips next time.

    I made it an hour ago. It smelt so good we couldn't wait for it to cool before we tried it. We loved it! It was really easy to make and light. Next time we might use nuts instead of sultanas.

    Have just made this for the second time-so easy and very popular. Have added chocolate chips as suggested by a previous reviewer and its even better!
