This was pretty easy to make, and turned out very well. It was surprisingly light for a wholemeal cake, and tasted delicious. A good recipe!

This is blissfully easy and absolutely delicious - a real contender for my best cake ever! I'm making a big version of it for a ruby wedding party, I hope it is well received...
