    Easy and worked out well. Insects not added. I reduced sugar down to 200gm and still was perhaps a little too sweet for our tastes. I'm really not sure why insects were included as they are not a healthy source of protein and don't belong in a cake.

    Such an easy recipe! Added 200g sugar and no cochineal. Now to find an easy icing recipe to match!

    Made it today as husband asked "Got any cake".
    so quick and easy.
    Reduced the sugar, trying to keep him healthy.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for this lovely recipe. I have made it so many times. I use gluten free flour and it comes out great.

    The easiest, lightest and tastiest cake enjoyed by many on 2 different occasions. Definitely a winner. Did not use cochineal. Split the cake and added whipped cream to the middle then a chocolate frosting on top.

    Soooo fluffy and light. Didn't add the cochniel, still amazing. Made into cupcakes and baked for about 15 mins on 160.
