"I love this recipe! I have always just used 2 fresh peppers cut up into inch cubes and fried after the onion. Def better with the wine and a good handful of parmesan cheese stirred through at the end. "

"I made this following the version in the magazine but substituted the apples for ripe pears and used 50g ground almonds (subtracting 50g flour) and 5mls almond essence. I put whole almonds on the top before sprinking with demara sugar and it took 1 hr 10 to cook. I note people found theirs were taking longer and I wonder if they were getting 'false' not cooked moist mixture on the knife test by sticking the knife into a segment of soft fruit? My boyfriend has called this the cake of the year so far and even had it for breakfast today!! Thank you for a great recipe."

"Very easy to make, like Frances I made this by hand - the end result was more like a soft scoop ice cream. I would add more ginger next time. It was very well received by all at the dinner party. Would be good served with some ginger crisp biscuits or wafers. "

"I found this a really easy and quick cake to make, omitted the chocolate topping as lack of time. It was really refreshing and moist. Will def be making again!"

"I love this cake, always add a handful of nuts for extra taste and texture. Friends commented that it was the best Brownie they had tasted. Beware of over cooking it and making it too chewy. "
