This cake was perfect! I had to add a bit of extra milk to the batter but that was the only modification. It was even better the next day. Great alone but could be a great accompaniment with fruit. Enjoy!

I made this for my kids school function where you had to bring an ethnic dish. The Irish folks never heard of it (including my Dad who is from Ireland!) It is simple to make and comes out great! I make it for bake sales for something different beyond cupcakes and brownies. Make sure it is cool before adding powdered sugar. It still will taste good, but the appearance isn't as nice. Thank you for this recipe!

Simple and tasty. Great with vanilla or dulce de leche ice cream AND a cup of Irish cream coffee! :D

I made this at the nursing home where I work- for 50 servings and used margerine and the powdered sugar/cinnomon topping- it worked out great! (although the diabetics were only allowed a very small piece) Everyone was asking for the recipe!

Excellent St Patty's Day finish! This cake was moist, delicious and stayed that way for a few days. Just sweet enough to enhance your tea and leave a nice aftertaste. Before sprinkling on the confectioner's sugar, my wife put a little cinnamon-sugar on top! I recommend this one and we'll be making it again. If you're adventurous, poke some holes in the top of your slice with toothpicks and then douse it with some Bailey's Irish Cream!! It will soak right into the holes. Ohhh Yummmmmayy!! (-:

This was very nice. I added some green food colouring to the batter as I made it for St. Patricks day. It was a hit.

This cake was so easy to make. It turned out beautifully. I wasn't too sweet so I was able to serve it with Irish bananas (on this site) and vanilla ice cream. My husband asked me if I made the cake or bought it! Can't get better than that!

This recipe is great if you want something that is moist and not too sweet. The perfect cake to serve after dinner with a scoop of ice cream and a cup of tea. Would also be good with a citrus glaze pour over top.

Not too bad right out of the oven, but definitely improved the next day. No changes necessary for me. Will keep this one on file!

Loved it! Similar to a sponge or crumb cake. Delicious even using margarine instead of butter. Make sure to beat the sugar/butter (or margarine) for a long time to incorporate air - it makes the cake come out light and fluffy (do not beat to much after adding flour though). Added only 1 Tb more milk. My husband said he "couldn't stop eating it." It is plenty sweet - sweetness just right. Baked it in a sprayed 8" sq glass pan - still gooey at 30 mins so I baked it 10 mins more (40 mins total). Will make this again!

Really good cake! A wonderful not too sweet cake which is a perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of earl gray. I made three of them this week to serve to company. It received great reviews. All the wives asked for the recipe.

two thumbs way up! tastes like a fluffy sugar cookie, as I would have suspected looking at the ingredients. It's dense, not too sweet, and really tastes like a sugar cookie! Would be great with some fresh fruit. EASY to make! Thanks!

I was looking for an Irish dessert to bring to a potluck. This far exceeded my expectations. It was perfectly moist, amazingly easy, and is made with on-hand ingredients. This is the perfect treat to make in a pinch or for any reason at all. You may as well make two!

This is a wonderful recipe. It makes a nice sized cake for snacking or a small party. It isn't too sweet which is wonderful for tea & coffee. Its texture is similar to pound cake, but I wouldn't go so far as to state that it's "very dry & dense"...just a slightly heavier texture than your standard cake. I imagine it would turn out badly if it were overmixed -- I stirred in the flour & milk by hand so that wouldn't happen.

this was very tasty, although a tad bit "dry". i topped it with sliced strawberries and chocolate sauce. i think the "dryness" of the cake is not necessarily a downfall, as it will stand up wonderfully under juicy fruits, or sauces without becoming soggy. will make again for sure.
