    Made this cake for my 5 year olds B'day party - used gluten and wheat free self-raising flour, gluten free baking powder and 2 spoonfuls more fromage frais (didn't use yoghurt)as one of the guests is gluten intolerant and it turned out brilliant after 30 min in oven. ... It's the second time I made this cake and first time I just followed the recipe - no problem (just leaking smarties) ... My boys keep asking for this cake !!!

    Cake was really nice and moist. Left out vanilla paste couldnt find it. Fronting delicious. No problems with timings. Done after thirty mins. Definitely make it again.

    I read most of the comments and suggestions before I made this cake. It did definately need longer cooking time, I also reduced the sugar slightly. The results were amazing. Everyone who tasted it thought it was 'shop bought' I used milk chocolate buttons on the top and cut it into much smaller squares. Would certainly recommend this recipe. Making it for Easter and will put mini eggs on top!

    Great tasting cake and really easy to make. But, I also had a problem with the amount of time it took to bake and ended up baking for an hour. It was well worth the wait!
