This is a really easy cake to make and uses common ingredients without the need for gluten-free flours/starches. the cake rose while cooking but settled down in the refrigerator to about 2cm high (just unfer an inch). Thick, dense and rich- delicious served with custard. Would also be great with some whipped cream or thick yogurt. We enjoyed this cake for my daughter's 16th birthday family get together. Photo to be posted later (my camera has a flat battery at the moment). Made for Make my Recipe Tag Game in the Aus/NZ Forum
