Of course I made this cake of yours years back. i am not a baker, but surprisingly, it came out perfect. Its the most delicious cake ever. Then later on i learnt more & more Teacakes. Finally i took a Teacakes class (i run cooking classes) & this cake is best loved by all my students & my son who eats only chocolate cakes, loves this cake. I do not add blackberries, as its not available in Bombay, India. Thank you so much for a great great, so delicious recipe. I earned well & now I get orders for this cake. Blessings & tons of Love to you from my Gurus & me. In Gratitude

I’m a huge fan from Egypt. I love your recipes and your frequent use of olive oil. You have introduced me to the use of olive oil in cakes ?I loved that.I enjoy reading your introductions to
the recipes .

Mat,

I have found that for most baked goods you can substitute coconut oil equally for butter but you can indeed taste a subtle hint of coconut, particularly in mild flavored items. I have not made the switch completely but have been experimenting using olive oil and coconut oil in place of butter in many of my baked good recipes.

Dear Deborah,
I am a great fan and enjoy both the recipes and the pictures ! You introduced me to coconut oil , which I purchased in a health food store and I am preparing to use it as a substitute for butter as I see noted , in some cake & muffin recipes .
In other cake recipes, I still see butter being suggested —
Without taking liberties or making unfounded conclusions, what would you suggest, as the appropriate use of coconut oil and is the substitution , equal ,i.e., tablespoon for tablespoon, etc ?
Is there any concern about the finished product, tasting of coconut ?
BTW, Coconut oil gets raves from the health food store, as a poly unsaturated substitution–but you knew that !
Warm regards,Mat Casamassima
