The Maderia loaf cake is looking so delicious. I think I should print the recipe. Pinning the post for now
Thanks for printing and pinning this one. Do keep me updated when you make it.
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 😊
Hi Linda. Thanks for the background on traditional Madeira cake from Portugal. I love to learn all these bits and pieces of information from around the world. Hope you will enjoy this one.
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
Dear Michele, this is awesome news. Ask your friend maybe she will be interested to come and join The Recipe Hunter: Tried and Tested Recipes From Home Chefs group and share her recipes and pictures with us. https://www.facebook.com/groups/therecipehunter
I look forward to your feedback. Thanks for doing this
That looks delicious and easy. I wonder how it would do as cupcakes? Thanks for sharing. Michele
p.s. shared on my Facebook page.
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.
Mmmm such a treat when I was a child. Might just have to try this and see what my family think. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Justine, Thanks, I hope you will make it and let me know what the family has to say. Enjoy it
