    This really is as squidgy and delicious as it sounds. A real winner of a cake and so easy to make. I've also tried it with pears and it worked brilliantly. It's a great way to use up fruit slightly past its best. I've convinced myself it's also the perfect way to fit in another one of my five a day....

    What a lovely cake, everything you say it will be, I loved the crunchy top, the spices though I do have to admit to swapping the quantities around as we adore cinnamon but you still got that almost christmassy flavour with the spices, lovely a definite keeper.
