Wouldn't buy this again
Bought this as I was on a restricted diet for a week. Was disappointing, very dry and not tasty, texture not quite right.
Not good
Not good. Haven't bought for a while, but doesn't taste anything like it used to. Too sweet (first ingredient sugar!), tasteless, synthetic. Had to throw it away.
Don't buy if you want a decent cake
This was the worst Madeira cake I have ever tasted, stodgy, tasteless and left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. After one bite I fed it to the birds
Stale because delivered on use by date.
It tasted nice, but was dry, because the one that was delivered had that day's date on it! So when we came to eat it a couple of days later, it was starting to get stale. I don't know if we'll want to eat any more of it.
Great for Tiramisu!
Great if you use it for Tiramisu!
Definitely not madeira cake.
Definitely not madeira cake. Horrible tasting cheap sponge which had a dry/stale texture which even custard could not improve. This was the only madeira available online. Glad my visit to my Dad was cancelled as I would have been ashamed knowing what I know now about this had I given it to him.
VILE
DISGUSTING. IT FED THE BIRDS, THAT'S ABOUT IT. SYNTHETIC TASTE, DRY, NO SPONGEYNESS TO IT, ONE BIG SOLID LUMP OF YELLOW STUFF THAT LOOKED LIKE IT BELONGED IN A SOFA CUSHION. ABSOLUTELY VILE.
Dry, tasteless, avoid.
Dry, tasteless, avoid.
not the Madeira Cake I remember
Don't get me wrong Tesco have some quality products, this wasn't one of them. nothing like the the taste of Madeira cake that I used to buy. my wife and myself tried a piece and it had kind of sickly saccharin taste and the rest went in the bin. sorry I know it sounds more like a rant but had to tell it as it is
Tasty, moist and good value. Just lovely.
