Great cake! Had a large gathering at my house today and everyone whats the recipe. Just a bit of a puzzle how do you measure dried cinnamon in ml? I put in a very generous heaped teaspoonand it worked.

Couple of questions: 1)What sort of size eggs? 2)What is the water used for (not mentioned in the method), and milk is used in both topping and base. Should I just use milk for both?

Hi Jon, Thanks for your questions. The water in the recipe was in fact a mistake and milk should be used in both topping and base (1.5 tbsps for the base, 2 tbsps for the topping. Medium eggs will be fine to use. Thanks, Doves Farm

Really yummy cake and easy to make. My first attempt at gluten-free baking and I'm very impressed.

Very quick and easy. Didn't last long either!

I didn't have any almonds to hand so I made the topping as a traditional "crumble"(50g butter/50g flour (I used the wholemeal spelt) rubbed together) mixed with the demerara. This worked well but next time I will be trying with the almonds.

I served this straight from the oven with left over brandy single cream (from Xmas) and there was barely a crumb left.

Another five star recipe from Doves Farm.

Delicious and very easy to make. Made it as a traybake with wholemeal spelt flour.
