There are lots of reasons why a cake might sink in the middle – could be the temperature, under or over mixing the ingredients, opening the oven door…lots of things.

There is a lot of butter in this recipe, but that’s part of the reason it’s so tender and moist. you could cut it back, I suppose, but you’d need to adjust the rest of the recipe accordingly. I’ve never had butter run out onto the tray…

I am sure there is to much butter in this recepie, always have lots of butter run out on the tray I am cooking it on.Any normal cake dose not require this amount of butter, it always sinks badly in the middle ?.

Have made this twice and both times came out different. There seems to be conflicting recipes from river cottage and hughs guardian article. One recipe says use 300gms of butter and the other says 300. This seems a tremendous amount so I used 250gms with no problem both times. Has anyone else done this. Very moist cake so wondered if it needed so much butter. Would love to know what you think..?

Made this cake today for some friends and it went down a storm. It's absolutely delicious/moist and really easy. Loved it. In fact I have had to restrain myself from going into my kitchen this evening and eating the rest of it! Tastes like marzipan. Will definitely make it again. Yum

I just made this beautiful and easy cake because I was bored and it is brilliant. I never thought that I can bake a very yummy cake from wholemeal flour. It is just perfect!
Thank you very much for sharing.
If there's anymore recipe like this I would be happy to make.

Round 2 (round 1, forgot almonds b4 oven – so eager to eat the thing). Almonds safely on top of second attempt and watching it rise now. Mouth watering…

Just finished the Leeds half marathon… Totally focussed on getting home and making this cake! Watch this… A review post is likely to be delayed due to a full mouth!
