Intro

My mother used to make a carrot cake similar to this when I was a child. She would use it as a children's birthday cake (without the ginger) and decorate them beautifully. Children just love this spiced carrot cake.!! It is also a great cake for picnics and tea parties, as a tea cake. This is a very simple recipe, with very simple ingredients.


Ingredients

• 2 cups Plain Flour
• 1 cup Sugar (I use raw sugar, but any sugar is fine)
• 2 Tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 Tbsp Ground Ginger
• 1/2 Tbsp Ground Nutmeg
• 1 - 2 cups Grated Carrot ( 1 medium-large carrot is what I used)
• 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Esscence
• 2 Eggs
• 2 pots (4 tbsp) Natural Yogurt
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil

Step 1

<!-- google_ad_section_start --> Grease and flour the pan. I always do this first, as it gets the annoying stuff out of the way and leaves you with good, fun cooking time.

Step 2
