i love the recipe i gonna try it now

Love it, as does everyone else I have made it for.

Holy moly it's lush

I used less baking powder, inadvertently adding it at the end. The base was crisper and didnt rise much, if at all, something I prefer. No complaints from family and friends who enjoyed it.

Delish

Good sweet yummy treat!! It was good.

My mother made this Louise cake recipe all her life. Was a staple in our house from the 1950’s. Never can remember a cup of tea without the tin of Louise cake coming out... very fond memories. I have made it myself but for good coconut coverage I find you need 3 egg whites.

Simple easy recipe. I enjoy swapping out the raspberry jam for others, including homemade feijoa and ginger jam which I found the recipe for on this website.

It was great.

Almost perfect except base was too moist. Would try less butter than 125g in recipe.

great tasting recipe and easy to make

Just about to make it again. Did a double batch and still wasn’t enough once my grown children took it home. The best thanks

Lovely

Both the top and the base were much too sweet. I presume being a sugar company, Chelsea has gone for a high sugar recipe, but this has an extremely sweet base, a layer of sweet jam and a very sweet topping. This recipe bakes the base for 10 mins, let it cool then add the jam, currants and topping. The problem with this is that the base drops as it is only half cooked when the toppings are added. It does bake through when it goes back into the oven but the base is a disappointment. I think chilling the base in the refrigerator and cooking for the total time (with a tray on the rack above the cake if needed to stop the meringue browning too much) works a lot better.

Love this recipe! So timeless and easy to make! Thanks for helping me!

Loved it...

This Recipe is awesome, my family loves the recipe

Fabulous

Simply and Easy to make and kids can help too...Luv it, thank you

DELISH!!!!

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's certainly one of my favourites! So easy and not too much mess or fuss. I've improvised a couple of times with jams, using Strawberry and Wild berry a few times, but Raspberry is always nicer I find. Happy baking!

This was great, I made this recipe gluten free by substituting the flour with coconut flour & gf baking powder. It turned out perfect.

I love this recipe, mother Used to make it for us kids (I'm 62 now) I'll make this for my daughter and those that love good kiwi tucker; Aussies love Kiwi slices and cakes I bake. Chur bro! Thank U, Kapai NZ.

The under estimated slice that's a Kiwi Classic, and a home comfort!!

Absolutely delicious louise cake and easy to make

It was alright until my brother came along and took it away from me and ate it

Easy to follow recipe! Was one of my fave treats when I visited New Zealand.

It could be useful to clarify, especially for young bakers, (in ingredients lists) that egg yolks are used in base and the whites in the topping. The whites just appear in the method.

Family favourite, yum.

absolutely scrummy

Simple and delicious.

Didn't have raspberry jam so used plum, was delicious! Thinking lemon curd would be great too :o)

A surprisingly easy elegant old-fashioned slice. Use a really nice homemade-like raspberry jam like Te Horo as the quality of the jam comes through in the finished product.

i remember once having louise cake where they used whole fruits in place of jam and it was super delish
