Cannot wait to eat this... And maybe share with the kids! The crumbs that may have fallen off the edge were delicious!

Yeah! I literally just followed your recipe but I did a little less flour (125g I think) and then added 25g coco powder and added coco powder to the icing too x

Sponge was so lovely and light. Couldn't get my icing to set but I did make this when it was really warm so could just have been the heat.

Kids loved it. Be careful with the type of olive oil you use, ours had quite a strong olive taste so next time I'll try a lighter one.

This was a great hit with my boys, however, they’ve eaten it all before I could take a pic! I’m not very good with cakes so it didn’t look as good as Molly’s but based great xx
