    Yum!! Made this last night for hubby's birthday, he was a big fan!! Everyone loved it! None left at all!

    I ran out of time to make the optional topping so I just bought a can of Nestle Caramel Sauce for people to serve on their piece if desired, also served with dollop cream - yum!

    I used wholemeal spelt flour and was great!

    Will definitely be making again! Delicious! Quick and easy and the kids helped tmrc_emoticons.) We took it to the park for after our BBQ dinner tmrc_emoticons.) Thank you!!

    This is super yummy!  I didn't have wholemeal so used white SR flour.  I cut into slices then froze individually for lunches - well what was left as it was hard to stop eating it when it was warm tmrc_emoticons.)
