Madeira Cake Easy Baking 

HI Emma S. You are most welcome. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I do love Madeira cake too, always have.

Hi Eureka Lass. Thanks very much. I am glad you are recovering well from your procedure. I hope making the cake will make you even better. I did smile last week, but I went for a lie down afterwards to recover. LOL>

HI Jan. Madeira is one of my favourites.

Oh yes, fount of all knowledge. How right you are.

I was today years old when I found that out. I thought it was made with madeira.

Hi Nees Argon. My slice did indeed go down very well, with a cup of tea.

Hi 1904say. You are very welcome.

Hi Vulcanswork. Thanks very much.

Hi Ann, I am pleased to have brought back some memories. I hope you enjoy the cake if you do make it.

Hi Gerhardt, in South Africa. You are very welcome.

Hi Emma R. That's great. I hope you enjoy the Madeira cake.

Hi Henrietta, yes this is a traditional favourite from my childhood too. Some butter and even a little jam would be very nice. Have a good weekend yourself.

Hi there. Thanks very much.

Hi Felicia. It is very good, you should try it.

Hi Helene. I do hope you enjoy it.

Hi Tony. Thanks very much. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Kay, thanks very much. You are most welcome.

Hi Hayley. I am glad the coconut cake was a success for you. As for reducing sugar in cakes it is possible. However sugar adds sweetness and moisture to the cake, since the sugar dissolves. So if you reduce the sugar you also reduce the amount of moisture in the cake. In some cakes that might be ok, and adjusting the baking time may help to keep it moist. For the Madeira cake I think you could reduce the sugar by 40g, which would be about 20%. Since the sugar is creamed with the butter, to create some volume, you might notice less volume as we. But I think you could try to reduce by 40g and maybe add at least 1tsp of milk to the batter to loosen it a bit(the recipe calls for up to 1 tbsp). Bake in the oven, but check after 50 minutes to see if it is done, then check every 5 minutes, until it is fully baked. It is a bit of trial and error, but once it has worked you will know for the future.

Hi Connie. I do hope you try it. Madeira cake has always been one of my favourites.

Hi Lala Galindo. You are most welcome.

HI Donna. That's good. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hi Pixie B. Yes it can easily be adapted to include cherries. I have a recipe, which is very similar to this one, that does include cherries geoffsbakingblog.blogspot.com/2017/12/cherry-madeira-cake.html . We are in for some stormy weather, right through to the middle of next week I think, so I am hunkering down.

@@geoffsbakingblog gorgeous Geoff. Perfect for Irish October weather..with a steaming hot cup of tea. Happy days.

@@barbaramensenkampff8170 Hi Barbara. Yes this is ideal for the sort of weather we are getting now, which is very similar to that in Ireland.

HI Barbara. I am glad you enjoyed the cake. Oven do tend to vary in how accurate they are. I always keep a thermometer in my oven so that I can check the temperature.

HI Sue, certainly homemade is better that the shop bought version. But sometimes, when needs must...... LOL

It could be changed in a number of ways, but I wanted a traditional Madeira Cake.

Hi Min Min, I do mention the size of the pan in the video, and in the recipe which is here: geoffsbakingblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/madeira-cake-easy-baking.html The size is 2lb/900g, dimensions 23cm x 13 cm x 7 cm.

@@geoffsbakingblog thank you so much 😉🌸

HI Mouiz Ali. As with all things these cakes are not unhealthy, unless you eat them to excess.
