Recipe Reviews
Just made ,its very easy tasty quick .what more can I say
Sponge beautifully soft. Altogether delicious. Only downside, its so nice, one slice isn't enough!!
Lovely sponge
This worked a treat, only extra I did was I set my microwave to 600 so it didn't suddenly over cook and over flow.
Tried recipe for first time tonight, turned out beautifully light and tasty. Will definitely be making it again
5 mins in microwave, you have got to be kidding, the syrup started smoking after just 2 minutes.
