"On a wet weekend I felt like making a cake but found that my chocolate had been opened and some eaten (by me!) so I cut the recipe down and made 2/3rds and cooked it in a 2lb loaf tin. It cooked beautifully in slightly less time than the recipe stated and tasted great - moist and not too heavy. I didn't make the topping as I had no condensed milk (and it really was chucking it down outside so I didn't fancy a trip to the shops) but we all thought it was fine without a topping - and less calorific!"

"Not a hit in this house! The cake was OK but the filling/icing was very heavy on the tum and quite bitter with an odd taste. Served it with whipped cream sweetened with icing sugar to make it a bit tastier but this totally defeated the healthier aspect of the recipe! Will not make again."

"I made this cake this morning for a family get-together this afternoon. Also made a victoria sandwich which I thought would be more popular but the ginger cake went first and everyone loved it. It was very moist and the lemon icing complimented the ginger perfectly. A great cake to make in the food processor. I made it in a 2lb loaf tin and it worked really well. Can't wait to make it again!"

"I'm also confused about the 200ml pack coconut cream . My supermarket sells 200ml cans of coconut milk or solid packs of creamed coconut weighed in grams. Neither seem right for this recipe- surely a pack is solid but ml are liquid? The recipe in the magazine says to use 2 tablespoons but the website says use 2 teaspoons for the cake? More confusion!! I have found cans of coconut cream by searching on Google but can only buy by mail order and I want to make the cake for my brother's birthday tonight! Maybe you will be OK if you have an Asian supermarket nearby but I will have to try and modify the recipe and do without the coconut cream - or find another recipe that is easier to follow. Shame because this recipe looks yummy and my brother's eyes lit up when he flicked through my copy of the magazine and saw it."
