This is an excellent cake. The family loved it. Will be adding to my recipe collection. Thank you!
Yay Meg! I’m thrilled to hear that!!
Can it be done without a Thermomix?
Hi Steph – absolutely!!! If you scroll just above the Thermomix recipe, you’ll find the conventional recipe card (virtually all recipes on my website have 2 recipe cards – 1 for conventional method and 1 for Thermomix). xx
Could you substitute frozen berries for the strawberries?
Definitely!!
Hi Steph can you use frozen raspberries instead of strawberries?
Absolutely!
Really like this loaf, I used natvia instead of sugar and it turned out fine.
Fantastic!!! Thanks for the feedback!
