"The cake was delicious but had the same problem as Di and Becky. I use a Belling multifunction oven and always cook cakes in the fan oven at 160C and take off 5-10 minutes. The fruit was beginning to burn after 50 minutes, which is the time I expected it to take to cook. As I don't like banana chips I hadn't got them on, nor the nuts, so for the fruit to burn it is serious!!! It also didn't rise at all - so why the baking powder? I had no pecans left so substituted with brazil nuts. As an experienced cook and very familiar with my oven, I don't expect this to happen. (My Victoria sandwiches turn out perfect every time, 160C 25 minutes, 4 large eggs, 8 inch tins if that helps anyone!!!!!!)"
