    Thanks for this recipe, it's so moist. I just used a bought GF flour mix, and a mixture of olive, coconut oil and nuttlex in place of the macademia oil. I reckon I'd add a little more spice next time. Lactose free in this house, so I just did a Buttery Nuttlex buttercream and added some lemon juice which gve it that cream-cheese zing. Perfect for the top. Will definitely make again - it's good to have recipes where all the incredients are staples.

    This is delicious. I didn't have macadamia oil so just used rice bran, still tasted great  tmrc_emoticons.)

    I made this cake for a morning tea and it was devoured!  I am also diary intolerant so used the lactose free  cream cheese and milk to make the icing.  With definitely be making this one again!
