It is really nice to see a man baking as it reminds me of my father. This cake was one which I used to eat as dessert in school and I absolutely loved it along with Manchester Tart. I had custard with this cake and it was lovely. Thank you so much for uploading this tutorial as I would love to make this cake out of sheer nostalgia and because I love the taste.

Looks lovely, nice light cake. Seeing the jam reminds me of my favourite jam, damson, never see it now. Also celery soup. Times change...

Hi Sue, Thanks very much. Oh yes, damson jam is delicious. I haven't had it for many years. I am a big fan of Wilkins and Sons Tiptree range. They do a damson conserve and have.damson jam in the Thursday Cottage range too. I must try them at some time.

Love the video. Thank you. If I use plain flour, how much baking powder should I use? I can’t get self raising flour where I live.
@geoffsbakingblog4 жыл бұрын
Hi Lynn. If using plain flour add a total of 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, instead of the 1/2 teaspoon mentioned in the recipe. Make sure you add the baking powder to the flour and give it a good mix around to ensure it is fairly well distributed.

Hi Geoff, I am going to try this today! Would it work in a 8inch square tin?
@geoffsbakingblog4 жыл бұрын
Hi Lucky13Lucky. The recipe calls for 8x12 which is half as big again as and 8 inch square tin. If you do the recipe exactly as it is, but put it in an 8x8 tin the cake would be much thicker and would need longer baking. However I think if use 2/3s of the ingredients only it would work well in an 8 inch tin. For the eggs 4 large is about 292g, 2/3 of which is about 194g. 3 medium eggs is about 190g so I would use 3 medium eggs in a reduced recipe. I hope I have explained that clearly enough.
