"I have been baking for 33 yrs and my hubby says they are the best scones ever!! The tip with the lemon juice is invaluable. Thanks Jane. I am going be a grandma for the first time shortly and so will be making these for the next generation. :-)) "

"I have just made this and cut into it. Left it to go cold to eat as a cake rather than pudding. Not sure I cooked it long enough as its soggy inside. It still tastes good though."

Banana loaf
60 comments
"I have just made this today. It was lovely, few alterations made, didn't use buttermilk, I found the mixture wet enough, put double quantity of fruit as didn't have pecan. Rather than make it in a loaf I made them in bun tins. I find I am more disciplined if they are in individual portions!! Although I have just had 2!!!"

"Tried these yesterday with some unsweetenend Chestnut Puree I had bought for a recipe from Delia. I have to say they were not nice at all. Very dry and crumbly and the taste was bland. Won't be making them again."

Snow-topped holly cakes

"This is a 5+ cake!!! I made it several weeks ago and I have just had a slice ( couldn't wait for the big day! ) It is gorgeous, the best I have tasted. After a disaster of making another fruit cake I was beginning to think I just couldn't make fruit cakes, but you just can't go wrong with this recipe. Perfect Perfect..."
