    The flavour of this cake is beautiful BUT I feel there is too much liquid to pour over the top. I have now got a gooey dessert more than a cake. I would make it again but don't think I would add the juice on the top.

    Super delish cake. Super easy. Great for not so sweet oranges & left over pumpkin.
    my father in law is 93 and he scoffed it down. Looks like this one will be a favourite in my house.
    thankyou for a great recipe...

  • Delicious! Will be a regular

    Submitted by Smoothy on 12. June 2016 - 15:52.

    Delicious! Will be a regular in this house. I cut the sugar in the cake back to 100g and will probably do even less next time as the syrup is plenty sweet enough for us, but this cake is a winner!

    TINA!!!! O M G!!!! WOW!!!! I'm seriously lost for words, but i'll try and find some!

    Light, fluffy, moist, absolutely INCREDIBLE and one piece is just not enough!! WOW!! The flavour is divine!! The perfect balance!! (I might reduce the sugar a bit next time though as the syrup is so beautifull sweet tmrc_emoticons.-)

    My pumpkin didn't make up to 350gm once cooked but it didn't seem to matter at all. 

    THIS is going to be a favourite in my circle! Thank you tmrc_emoticons.-)

    This cake was absolutely delicious. My mother's group girls were very very impressed! I had super juicy oranges so had a lot of syrup left over. I can't wait to make it again and next time I think I'll try little cup cakes

    Yum! Another sneaky way to get a vegetable into my non-vegetable eaters. Perhaps i had super juicy oranges as I had a lot of syrup left over.

    Loved it and will cook It again, although I did cook it for 5 mins longer than the recipe.  Note to self: remove cake from pan before covering with syrup. Lol.  Thank you for sharing.

  • Can't stop at one piece. This

    Submitted by Tookie322 on 7. November 2014 - 19:12.

    Can't stop at one piece.

    This cake is delicious. Very moist and soft. This is the 3rd time this week I have made it. Made it into cupcakes the first time and had syrup left over. 

    I found I had to cook more than 350g of raw pumpkin to get 350g cooked. (About 500g but depends on the pumpkin) T

    This is definitely a hit for young and old. From my 18mth grandson to my parents. 

    Haven't got to the stage of putting strawberries and cream with it yet. It is eaten before that.
