  1. Traditional Madeira cake from Portugal is a heavy fruit sugar cane cake – opposite to the light sponge cake known as Madeira cake although they do like their sponge cakes on Madeira so perhaps it is named after the sponge cakes made there 😊 Nevertheless I love both types of cake and will try this recipe 😊

  2. You are so welcome, and I will. I got a response already from my friend who bakes and she said she had been thinking about making a pound cake today. I made the cupcake suggestion in my FB post, so I will check with her later and see if she tried it. She frequently posts pictures of meals, including deserts that she makes for her family. M

    • Michele, I have not made it as a cupcake as yet, but I can not see why it will not work. When you do make cupcakes, please update us on the outcome, as it’s always good to add additional information on such a post especially once tried and tweaked. Thanks for sharing on FB, much appreciated.
