"I used a mixture of dried cherries, sultanas and raisins. All mixed berries would have made it too expensive. I wrapped it in foil and it kept fine for a week. Really nice and fruity tasting and the orange zest and juice add a lovely freshness to the cake. Watch out for the loaf tin, I assumed the one I had would be a standard size but it seems that 2lbs is bigger than the usual size available in smaller shops. "

"Really lovely. I used less liquid too and ordinary potatoes instead of sweet. I'd choose this over a meat version in future. "

"This was too lemony for my taste, although I usually like lemon. I didn't think it had much depth of flavour either. I added a teaspoon of sugar and generous pinch of salt to counteract the lemon, and some chorizo, garlic and a squeeze of tomato puree for more flavour and this turned it into quite a tasty recipe. "

"Lovely. Like many others I found it needed 30 mins in the oven but was worth the extra wait. I might use a pack of thinly sliced chorizo next time instead of the bacon. "
