    Very forgiving recipe, I didn't have the right quantities of a few ingredients and it still worked well. I used 150g sugar, 200g almond meal, and 180g flour.

    Would this work with a different shape tin? I've got one that's deep like one you'd bake bread with..

    Reduced the sugar to 150 as on a low carb diet, was sweet enough. Very nice! Thanks

    Fabulous cake, made a number of times with cream cheese frosting. Just ensure carrots are chopped up finely.

    Really good, rose well and looked and tasted great. We added cream cheese icing. Would be easy to make gluten free by substituting GF flour for the 80g flour.

    Delicious.

    We used it in a special tin to make the number 5 for a birthday. It held perfectly well, it was moist and a real success. Highly recommended! tmrc_emoticons.)
