"For Jooles. No, Jooles you do add water. To make it really strong I just used a tablespoon of instant coffee, added a couple of tablespoons of boiling water to make it dissolve and then measured out a tablespoon of the strong stuff! Hope you enjoy it!"

"I made this cake for Easter Sunday and although I'm not a huge chocolate fan, my family loved it. I must admit that I didn't have the problem of the cake sinking because it needed longer cooking but I did find that the white chocolate cake cooked more quickly than the dark one so that although the dark one was perfect when it came out the white one was not as light as it had been slightly over cooked. I used different brands of white and dark chocollate and I wonder if this was the reason? The white choc maltezas made a lovely extra touch I thought."

"Delicious. Really makes use of seasonal fruit and the blackberries give a real zing to the cake. A real favourite, I have made this twice now."

"I made this for our Sunday lunch pudding but although my husband loves ginger he didn't like so much crystalised ginger in it and I had to make two loaves as the pears displaced much of the mixture which was very light and nice. I wouldn't make it again but if I did I would put it into a square cake tin."
