{has_more=true, offset=50, total=143, results=[{comment_text=Best ever! So good. As long as you line the tins the way they recommend it's super easy to get them out and much easier to clean up. I make these every year for my elderly loved ones and it's always a huge hit. I never used to like it as only had supermarket ones but this one was delicious. My go to Christmas treat. I make them in August and feed them weekly until Dec :D boozylicuous, approved=true, user_name=Micaela, hs_createdate=1702249877269, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175587483}, {comment_text=I made this cake and used 2 tins. ( next time will make it in 1 tin ) We have tried the cake as I was concerned that it was very sticky on the outside. It tastes great, and seems to be cooked right through. I am an experienced baker, and would love to know why the cake has turned out so sticky. I must admit to soaking the fruit with a cup of sherry for a couple of days, then added another 3/4 cup sherry when I started cooking it. Maybe this is why. I would love Chelsea to advise. Thank you.Chelsea Sugar:It is possible the either difficult the cake is under baked or has not absorbed all the alcohol added. You could leave the cake for a few days in a cool place covered in a clean tea towel so that the excess alcohol can evaporate., approved=true, user_name=Susanna, hs_createdate=1702249876695, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175589779}, {comment_text=Hi - I made this cake for the 1st time last year and it was delicious!!
