I always get ooohs and aaahs when I make this cake! So simple to make and it is delicious. Serve with good quality cream and dark chocolate covered mango and goji berries (from the lolly section of the supermarket) for the ultimate indulgence.
Do you leave the skin on our remove it?
I too had a lot of butter come out the bottom of the spring form tin...but because of a previuos comment made sure I had a drip tray underneath. Smells awesome. tastes amazing. I too will cut down on the butter next time.
Thanks for sharing the recipe
Yum!!!
Omg! You legend!! I have this WW cookbook, I've been trying my best to convert it to "thermo-friendly" but haven't been game enough to give it a try... No holding back now! Thanks heaps!
The cake was delicious but butter dripped out into my oven (I used a springform tin) while baking. I would definitely cut the butter by at least 50g next time.

I think it would definitely work with almonds! Give it a try!
Would this work with almonds instead of macadamias? Trying to use what's in the cupboard.
This cake was incredible! Light, moist, delicate flavour - very elegant which is not a word I would use to describe cake very often.
I am already making for the 2nd time this week - a winner in my opinion!
