This madeira cake was perfect for brunch with my girlfriends! Light and fluffy and delicious! Can't wait to make it again.

This cake should go into my oven soon and then it would accompany my coffee. Many thanks for sharing this recipe Beth. :)

I always love a good pound cake, so it is a no surprise that I am in love with this cake too.

The flavor and texture of this cake was wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!

This loaf cake looks so light and fluffy. Perfect with tea or coffee.

I love Madeira cake - it brings back memories of my Irish childhood. I would eat a thick slice of cake with a cold glass of milk as soon as my mother said the cake was cool enough for cutting. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
