    "This is a great cake, not sickly sweet like some of them, a bit more grown-up. 1 tsp of bicarb seems to do the trick. My little boy turned the oven to 0 C about 2/3 of the way through cooking and it still came out great so I guess it's a pretty fool proof recipe! I left out the lemon peel as I didn't have any and also didn't put in the pineapple as we don't like it. Also I had some pecan nuts in the house so I did 1/2 walnuts and 1/2 pecans which was great. Also I added 1/2 tsp of ginger powder. I put 1/2 icing sugar and 1/2 honey in the icing which was lovely - this was an idea from an old Mary Berry recipe. Definitely recommended."
