"Really good cake, next time i will half the raisins,( cut down just a little on the sherry as you need it to put onto the cake when cooked) I just made it as a cake to be eaten cold. WORTH TRYING "

"you can swap with whole meal flour , it works perfectly. Idid add juice and zest of a lemon as didnt have any rum. The cake is not crumbly , It lasts the week and is fantastic microwaved with custard on. I dont put anything on the top, tried to keep to no added sugar "

"What a healthy cake , no added fat or sugar very high in fibre making it a low GI food. Pecans nuts help lower cholestral. My cake cooked to perfection , I have gas fan assisted so cooked on 3 1/2 for 1 hour . OK I did make a few alterations;;; Could,nt get polenta so I used wholemeal flour instead, didnt have any rum so used juice and rind of a lemon . Didnt bother with sugar and banana chips on top wanted to keep it really healthy. I have made 3 of these in the last 2 weeks , they keep very well , although they havent lasted past 4 days . It is a really moist cake. I can imagine with the rum added, microwaved for 30 seconds , served with custard it would be like Christmasf Pudding. I love recipes you can alter to suit yourself and this recipe fits in with that.Next week I am going to subsitute sultanas and raisins with dried tropical fruits,will let you know how I get on."
