"Hey, Do you think I could use the topping for a cheesecake? It just seems easy and all the others require eggs or a long time to set. "

"I used this idea, but a different recipe. The sponge was similar, but the recipe I used was:http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/11269/sticky-chocolate-drop-cakes. From this I made a big square one (using a 26cm x 35cm tin), but any square shaped tin would have been fine. This tasted like chocolate heaven. I also used a green icing, to make it look more like a graveyard. The ingredient was; - 2 avocados stoned and peeled -150g desiccated coconut- 250g of icing sugar - 2tbsp of mint extract. 1/ Peel and stone the avocado's and blend, so is a paste and smooth. 2/ Combine the icing sugar, with coconut, then add fruit and extract. 3/ Whisk until combined and then cover cake. Did not make ghosts, but used headstone idea and used flake to look like dug up mud :) All over a smashing cake!!!"

"Well if I could rate this a 10 it would be! It was bloody beautiful, if you are an almond lover :) It was overall easy, the sponge, jamming and icing looked fab too. I changed the sugar to light muscovado, used amaretto instead of almond extract, and I also used this for the icing, instead of lemon juice. The jam I used was also raspberry and worked well. Must try!"

"Hey, Yeah I made this last week and forget to comment, but am doing so now. I loved it was brillant with one of the custard recipes, however I used Treacle syrap, as it was a treacle sponge, put 2 heaped tbsp and was very sweet. It was also very hard to get out of tin. So next time I think I will cook the sponge, serve it up and then add the syrap/treacle on top. Makes :)"

"Hey, I like this cake recipe, thinking about making it for Christmas 2010! I love the idea of dark Muscovado sugar, I think I will have to change the recipe slightly. By using almond liquer instead of Brandy, and using almond. hazlnuts instead of macadamia nuts. This should be ok shouldn't it? I no you proberly think I am an almond addict lol! "
