"Gorgeous! I used a 1lb loaf tin - baked for 40mins. I cut the recipe in half apart from the ginger. I used 1 tbsp of stem ginger puree instead of ground ginger. I can't get hold of self raising flour in Germany so I used 170g plain flour and 5g of baking powder and that seemed to work perfectly. (I normally use 15g of baking powder to 485g plain flour just in case someone else also finds this helpful). Definately a recipe to keep."

"This is really similar to the Chilli I normally make. Very simple but yummy. It appears regularly on our menu when I need to use veg up from the bottom of the fridge. I have also added a handful of sweetcorn, finely chopped mushrooms and subbed baked beans before! It's always good. I usually use a green or yellow pepper instead of red, just for colour."

"This recipe is amazing! Everyone who tries it loves it! 'Now our staple Christmas Cake. (Another fave is cranberry, pecan loaf.) I always scale this down to 3/4 of the ingredients otherwise its too big for my cake tin (20cm). I also often dont put the topping on and íts non the worse for that. Amaretto or sherry instead of Rum also makes it lighter. With the scaled down recipe I've made 6 small loaf cakes before (like to old penny loaf size not 450g / 1lb)! and they are great as presents. Go on, try it."
