It is brilliant and it works (even with a modification).<br />When I was looking for an easy birthday cake to make for my Mum, and something that has no gluten(my part), your recipe came up. So, I decided to make it a combination - for her and for me. :)<br />My Mum is diabetic, no sugar for her. I decided to use VERY ripe bananas instead.

Actually, I sort of miss them--though I don't think I'd want to whip those eggs for 30 minutes by hand, thank you!kthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08632111479642749449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-14951406499674214292011-03-28T19:52:41.994+02:002011-03-28T19:52:41.994+02:00To S.

I used only half the amount of potato flour needed and used bakery flour for the rest (with yeist in it) and a half packet of yeist because I didn't have time to bea the eggs and sugur suffieciently.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058944089185214991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-25808308266648525942009-07-02T22:58:17.563+02:002009-07-02T22:58:17.563+02:00That's real joy!
