REVIEWS:

I didn't have any self raising flour so I used regular flour and added a couple of teaspoons of baking powder. Then instead of using white sugar for the topping, I used brown sugar mixed with cinnamon and mixed the melted butter into it making a sauce which I drizzled over top. This was so good! Will definitely make it again! :)

Amazing cake! It's easy to make and the family loved it. I will be making this one again!

WE love this cake the! I did was peel the fruit I used - much better!
