Emphasis on was!<br /><br />Dom - not quite perfection. Otherwise I'd have to stop looking ;-)<br /><br />Katie - I keep meaning to make some of the recipes from the preserves book - as you say the compost jelly is a great idea.<br /><br />SuelleCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-20092581355649785402012-04-05T16:51:12.565+01:002012-04-05T16:51:12.565+01:00When I made this, I was a little disappointed.

It was good, but as you say, not overwhelmingly so.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-60110963890082166252012-04-02T20:00:10.536+01:002012-04-02T20:00:10.536+01:00I can't remember now if I tried this one when ...I can't remember now if I tried this one when I was hovering about chocolate cake, no I think I sent it to my sister who was attempting black forest gateau and wanted a more substantial cake to fill. Not sure if she made it in the end either. When you find the perfect chocolate cake please please let me know. Having said that I will be more than delighted to eat a slice of this one while Joanna @ Zeb Bakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524835664217239571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-57037342106330276802012-04-01T15:34:31.706+01:002012-04-01T15:34:31.706+01:00Oh I love this cake.

For some reason I haven't made many cakes from this great little book but my favourite is Gill's Honey Cake. Because it contains wholemeal flour, almonds and honey it (almost) feels good for you too!underthebluegumtreehttp://www.underthebluegumtree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-20100269575979011382012-04-01T02:39:49.384+01:002012-04-01T02:39:49.384+01:00Oooh, C, I haven't tried this recipe yet.
