    So yummy, I used 80g of honey instead of sugar and 90g raspberries in the cake.
    I needed to cook mine about 30 mins longer in the oven but was well worth the wait!

    Easy and Delicious!  

    I didn't have any flaked almonds to place on the top so I used sunflower seeds and linseeds. 

    I also cut the sugar down by 1/4 and it tasted sweet enough for me!

    Submitted by JacE on 28. December 2015 - 10:08.

    I found the video for this before i found the recipe.  My loaf is still cooking in the oven atm but i was just a bit confused. In the video she takes the almond meal out,  then adds it with the coconut and baking powder later on. Though in the recipe it seems to stay in the bowl.  Does it make any difference either way? (I took it out as per video)

    Tasted delicious. I was too impatient though and took it out of the oven before it was fully cooked through so it fell apart a bit when I tried to take it out of the tin! That was after 1hr, 15min @160C

    Submitted by Amy M on 27. October 2015 - 19:36.

    Perhaps needed to go in the oven at a slightly lower temperature, as mine came out a little burnt on the outside.

    Otherwise, it was delicious!! I served it with lemon butter (from the Basic Cookbook), which I think compliments it better than whipped cream.

    Absolutely delicious - I had to cook it for an extra ten minutes than specified but my bananas were very ripe.  It was a crowd pleaser - no one cared that it was gluten free - you wouldn't have known the difference.

    Submitted by Cordy72 on 14. October 2015 - 21:58.

    So moist and delicious! This was such a crowd pleaser and everyone loved it, even the dubious non gluten intolerant members of the household. I didn't have any fresh raspberries so used mixed frozen berries and it turned out beautifully, even without thawing them first. Oh and the easiest recipe in the world to follow too - thanks for the excellent instructions. This will be a regular favourite in our household.

    I'd love to know where i can get moist coconut flakes that don't contain propylene glycol. This is quite a nasty ingredient that is best avoided.

    Delicious cake, very moist and yes easy to make!!! Next time I will shred my coconut flakes beforehand though. It also cooked for 1 hr and 20. I guess because I had frozen raspberries.

  • Impressive cake that looks

    Submitted by cookingwizard on 6. October 2015 - 21:19.

    Impressive cake that looks lovely and tastes really nice. I made this with blueberries instead and it turned out amazing. I did have to cook it longer than the suggested time but I think that was because I blended the blueberries up more than I should have.  Overall a fantastic recipe for gluten & dairy free. Will make this again and try with the raspberries when I have some.
