"Lovely light cake-delicious. I used a loaf tin, not a square cake tin,as the recipe suggests, it came out lovely. Have made madeira cake before, using a slightly different recipe, but would now stick to this one, everyone really enjoyed it."

"This is not a madeira cake. It's a basic sponge cake. Madeira has to have more flour. The title needs to change to sponge cake!"
