Recipe Reviews
Liked the original version (light bit dry for my taste but think adding a bit more butter or milk would of worked) and love the vegan version i made. Used ground flax seed and warm water instead of eggs, and used vegan double cream instead of milk (didnt hav soy milk, wasnt sure if oat milk would taste as good)
Can i make this vegan by using milled/ground flax seeds and soy milk instead of eggs and milk? .... not sure how much flax seed and warm water to use to imitate the eggs...
Unfortunately we haven't experimented with a vegan version of this recipe yet however, a general rule of thumb is that 1 egg is the equivalent to 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed and 3 tablespoons of warm water. We would love to hear how you get on if you bake your own vegan version.
Fantastic thank you for the recipe 🤩👍👏🥳 xx
Amazing cake! This went down a treat, very easy to make! I would recommend putting almonds in your mixture to give it a crunch, but either way, this recipe is perfect. Will be making this again!
Just took my cake out from oven its delicious thank you. Need to buy correct size of cake tin. Will b making it again.
This is my first go at making it. Got it in the oven just now. Will put another review up once it is ready. Very easy to make. Thank you.
