I made one last night, it was gorgeous, so moist, had to make it a triple though. I get my sister, brother and brother in law, their six kids come home to visit once a week.I love baking them treats,and to my surprise this one is aGOODY. My daughter decided she wanted white chocolate for icing, and a BIG slice for breakfast as well.Thank-you ever so much hooksie60, this recipe would be very popular with family and friends, though they would rather me make it for them. Isn't it nice that, people like you share, wonderful recipes for others to enjoy.You are gonna be very popular in our house, and other places too.SIMPLY THE BEST.

for a delectable dessert treat, use a long glass and punch/cut out a hole in the centre of the cake after its been iced, then full the hole to overflowing with fresh berries.looks fab.+with a bowl of whipt cream on the side of course.

I use grapeseed oil as it does not have a taste as such and is neutral.I feel it helps carry flavours better.I use this in all cake recipes that use oil.Will be interesting to see what others use.I did use light olive oil once in a cake as I didn't have enough grapeseed oil and I couldn't eat the cake! - Everyone else did though.

Hi jubellsrose I use what ever oil i have in the pantry but mostly it would be extra virgin olive oil. but this is quite expensive the only reason i went for that was the amount of this cake that my family eat i wanted the best possible for their health. I have just recently brought rice oil but havent tried this yet so will let you know how it goes.

I used rice bran oil and it turned out great. I personally wouldn't use olive oil as the flavour is too strong for a cake imo.

Turned out gorgeous thanks. Didn't realise how big it would be, so after filling my roast dish pulled out another dish for the rest of the mix. I'm gonna be a popular wife and mummy tonight, thanks for sharing

It is lovely to see a younger generation taking uo some older recipes. I have been making this recipe for about 40yrs now and it never fails. Use any cooking oil you have in the kitchen except olive oil. I think it is too thick or dense if that makes sence. If your cake sinks in the middle it is because it has not cooked properly.too slow.too hot.

I have made this cake twice now and both times it has been a hit. Hubby has requested it to be made for his 40th birthday! I put a nice chocolate icing on it and of course for the kids, I sprinkle a few hundreds and thousands over it! Yum!

Seems like a heap of sugar, a cake with the same amount of flour as sugar! Could I use less & have it still turn out!
