"Actually, considering the huge amount of negative feedback, what really surprises me is that the people from GoodFood suggested this as 'cake of the week' during the easter holidays. Anyhow, for me there are to many 'wet' ingredients in there, so, in order to avoid the sticky center everyone mentions, I added 100g flour to the batter. And I also added the grated rind of 1 lemon and sprinkled grated white chocolate all over the final frosting (the frosting in itselve isn't bad but it's a normal cream cheese frosting, definitely not something I would give mr. Martin a Nobel price for). So my cake came out firm and tasted ok (but, for me a holiday cake should be more than just ok...), would also suggest to cut it in halfs and sandwich with a fair amount of white chocolate ganache though."

"I think there some confusion here: orzo is indeed italian for barley, but from the picture you can clearly see that it's not about barley, but about greek pasta (yes, greeks have pasta, and it has the shape of rice-grains, just as the ones in the picture), and this very kind of pasta, in Italy, is sometimes called 'risoni' and sometimes they call it 'orzo' (oh, look, how strange...?! :-)) So I think you should use greek pasta in stead of barley, I'll try it tonight.. :-)"
