I loved the look of this recipe and gave...Hi Jeena,<br />I loved the look of this recipe and gave it a shot, but it all went very wrong! I'm not sure if part of the problem is I'm in the UK and I don't know how much a cup of coconut equates to (do you know how much it would be in grams?). I guessed and I think I added too much. Also, how large in millilitres is the tablespoon you use? I think mine may be smaller than the recipe requires as the quantity of mixture I ended up with was no where near enough to fill the tin I had set aside for it.<br />One final question - in the pictures for the bottom layer of the cake there appears to be an egg added, but no mention of an egg in the recipe itself. Is there supposed to be an egg in it?<br />I would absolutely love to give this another shot as it contains most of my very favourite things so if you're able to help me out on the above it would be fantastic. Otherwise I might just fiddle on and see what happens!!<br />Thanks for the excellent recipes and ideas,<br />LucyLucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72160418145248319.post-1375477590542984772009-07-07T17:29:06.725+00:002009-07-07T17:29:06.725+00:00This cake looks absolutely fabulous in appearance,...This cake looks absolutely fabulous in appearance, i can just imagine what it tastes like!<br />I have a couple questions about it. When does the mixed candied peel go? Can i opt it out? Can i use regular flour instead of rice flour ( i know it wont be gluten free anymore- no one i know stays away from white flour;))Will it effect the texture of the cake? Also is this recipe easily doubled?<br />I can't wait to make this cake. Beautiful pictures!

I have made it a few times already and have been sending the link off to almost everyone who has tried it (they are instantly asking for the recipe when they learn it is gluten and sugar free!).
