    Give this recipe a go - it's actually very good. Ignore the negative comments and follow the recipe as it is. A successful recipe. I used ginger instead of cinnamon and added a handful of mixed, dried fruit. Lovely with hot custard! Mmmm.

    Really struggled with this recipe. the 1/2 cup butter to 2 cups sugar didn't seem to be enough for creaming the ingredients. I added a bit more butter, but then when I went to bake it - after 40 minutes - the cake was almost liquid... very strange for a cake that was full of very dry and clumpy…

    Found it very hard to know what quantities to use as the recipe is in cups. Then the ingredients list cooked porridge but instructions state oatmeal. Is "flour" plain or self raising? The last instruction is to cover with a topping but doesn't state how to make these. The cake rose enormously then…

    Tried this with walnuts and chocolate chips - excellent.

    Tried this with dried apricots and dark chocolate chunks - delicious way to use up porridge!
