Great recipe, so moist and yummy :)
I would recommend using a larger loaf tin however as the recipe is quite big for the size recommended and it did rise quite a lot!

Nice cake just found the icing a bit too much.

It was really bland - sorry!! would suggest increasing the amount of spice

Such an easy, yummy cake. It's really moist and you'd never know its gluten free! I didn't have coconut sugar so instead used brown sugar, and halved the amount, was still really sweet with all the fruit and the icing :)
