"A really popular cake. I've made a few changes: 1) I bake it in one 23cm tin - takes about 40 mins to bake. 2) I don't add the lime juice to the topping - instead I heat it with 120g of sugar, make holes in the warm cake and our over the lime syrup. 3) I only use about 20g dessicated cocnut - and I toast it myself in a dry non-stick frying pan (shaking often and keeping a close eye as it turns very quickly)."

"Has everyone used Seville oranges? They're pretty hard to come by out of season - would a normal orange work as well?"

"Quite easy to make but baking powder plus self raising flour made it taste too much of baking soda for me. Do you think I could use less baking powder?"

"Carnation now make Carnation Caramel - most supermarkets stock it. Saves you the trouble of boiling the can. http://www.nestle.co.uk/ourbrands/productrange/creamsanddesserts/carnation/"

Gooseberry gems
8 comments
"This also makes a great Victoria Sponge style cake. Bake the sponge in a 24cm tin then slice in half and fill with a sourcream/creamcheese filling and the gooseberries (drained of their juice). Dust the top with icing sugar: Some pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fraukuchen/3746060276/ The syrup drained off the Gooseberries makes a good cordial."
