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)
