    A bit disappointing. The flavours were lovely but the batter did not fill a standard Nordic Ware tin despite being shown in the book as baked in one. I found it drier than I prefer.

    This is an excellent cake, with both almond and coffee flavors really coming through. My cake was nice and moist, and sliced neatly. I used AP flour and added an extra teaspoon of baking powder, along with some salt and a dash of vanilla.

    This cake was easy to make. I used Nigella's substitute for self-raising flour, but noticed that there's no salt in the batter, so I did add 1/2 tsp salt as well, per her American self-rising flour substitute. The coffee and almond flavors were prominent, although some people wondered if there were spices, which I think was just the coffee. The cocoa icing was a nice complement. The texture was slightly dry and crumbly due to the almonds. It isn't a large cake, and it disappeared very quickly from the break room at work.
