I requested that my Wife make this cake for my birthday. I think this just might be my favorite cake Iโve ever had for my birthday! It was utter perfection!

Thank you so much! ๐

Tried with chocolate and sour cherry toppings as well. Really yummy recipe both ways. ๐
Danielle S - Jan. 3, 2025, 11:55 p.m.
Wonderful and easy to make. This would be a great home made gift or breakfast. I see myself making it once a month.

GOD TIER RECIPE! This was SO delicious and so easy!! Also an excellent way to use the fruit languishing in my freezer. Holy crap this cake was incredible. My housemate suggested using rhubarb on top and I can't wait to try it!
PUL Team - Nov. 25, 2024, 4:33 a.m.
Wow, we're so glad you loved it, Talia! That rhubarb topping sounds like an amazing idea too ๐ค

Simple to make and such a lovely delightful flavor ! Mine did come out a. It dry (could totally be my oven) but considering adding a bit more milk or veg oil next time. Timing was very funny of that โTea Partyโ recipe collection as I had a tea party to go to (how cute is that ) and everyone did love it!
PUL Team - Nov. 17, 2024, 11:53 p.m.
How fun that the timing worked out perfectly for your event, Elyse! Adding a little extra milk or oil next time should help keep it moist. If it helps, we also used top-bottom heating without the fan and found it helps keep the moisture in ๐

Nice simple recipe! Another nice one to do with a toddler, he enjoyed eating it as much as he did making it!

When i made the batter i was a bit sceptical, because it was very thick and there was no picture with which i could compare it. But i baked it anyways and i have no regrets๐. Defenetly making it again๐.

Amazing! New favourite :)
Nikkie - Aug. 24, 2024, 1:41 p.m.
Really good! I used only half of the sugar, because it seemed like a lot and used cherries on top. Turned out great.
Luiza Alice - Oct. 2, 2024, 6:20 p.m.
I always do that !! Haah, but more like on Gordon/ Nigella/ other recipes ;) On her recipes I usually use 3/4 of sugar, cause theyโre balanced already. Except For the icing: Iโd use 1/10 amount sugar haah
Deborah - Aug. 21, 2024, 5:28 p.m.
I made this one with blueberries and it was a big hit! Amazing! Iโm wondering now if I could make this one with ginger and lemon pulp, after making some ginger lemon shots! Would be a great way to use up the pulp!
PUL Team - Aug. 25, 2024, 9:56 p.m.
Hey there, Deborah, adding the pulp is a fun idea to add a lovely zing to the recipe. We imagine you can mix the ginger-lemon pulp with the wet ingredients, before adding the dry. The cake will perhaps be a bit more dense and you might have to play around with the sugar amount to balance the flavours to taste. Let us know how it goes if you try it out ๐ค
Deborah - Aug. 26, 2024, 4:33 p.m.
Thank you so much! We dried the pulp and added it. It was delicious! ๐ฅฐ

Made this for a dinner party with friends; everybody loved it ๐

I've done it with sour cherries... And it's mouthwatering
Dominika Kacprzak - Aug. 11, 2024, 5:52 p.m.
So easy and so tasty. Done it with fresh blueberries from the garden and turned out great :)
Donna Harmsen - Aug. 11, 2024, 1:52 p.m.
Simple to make, and tastes amazing!
Marijana - Aug. 8, 2024, 8:45 a.m.
If used fresh berries, does it need more fluid?
PUL Team - Aug. 8, 2024, 4:29 p.m.
Hi Marijana, fresh berries release less moisture, but we don't think you need to adjust the ingredients. Although, the cake might bake slightly faster if using fresh berries. Start checking for doneness 5 minutes earlier than the original recipe suggests to prevent overbaking. ๐ค
Marijana - Aug. 13, 2024, 12:19 p.m.
Thank you for the answer ๐
By the way, why aren't I logged in? This is my phone, my app, but every time I write a comment, I have to enter my name? It's not a problem, but it's unusual.
PUL Team - Aug. 13, 2024, 2:21 p.m.
Hey Marijana, hmm I wonder if you don't have a name added to your account? You can add one by going to the "Me" tab > clicking "my details" > and adding a name beside the silhouette icon ๐ค
Marijana - Oct. 12, 2024, 9:40 p.m.
Thank you. It seems like you were right ๐
Hifi - Aug. 7, 2024, 11:11 p.m.
Haha this is what we call "bublanina" in Czech, which could very roughly translate to "bubble cake!" :)
PUL Team - Aug. 8, 2024, 5:59 a.m.
Ooo thanks for sharing your connection to the recipe, Hifi! We hope you enjoy it if you give the cake a try ๐
