I would say this cake is practically good for you! It is reasonably low in fat and ever so versatile, there is so much you can do with it. You could eat it for brunch or breakfast, eat it with coffee for a midweek treat, cover with custard for a delicious pudding or you could jazz it up for a lighter alternative to a Christmas cake. All this and it is lower in fat than your average loaf cake and this cake is so moist! It even keeps well in a cake tin! Definitely a wonder cake...
