  great cake, i collect unusual recipes so this is a good one to add. I have already been asked to make 2 more!! I would have given 5 stars but recipe a bit vague - flour I guessed plain because of the bicarb and baking powder. Also what size tin?? It says tins but I wasn't sure what size. I used a 9in spring tin, but this took about an hour and twenty mins. I had to put silver foil around the edge to stop it burning. Should I have used 2 tins??

  Sorry Amber, I should have mentioned the tin size, I use a baking tin which is approx 12 inches by 8 inches, so it makes one large cake. So I am sure if you use 2 tins it will be ok! Yes I do use plain flour, but in South Africa we also use cake flour for the recipe. Im glad you liked the cake, whenever I make it I get asked for the recipe...

  It is really really good! Sort if like a spicy carrot cake. I dont use cup measurements but i just used an online converter to change everything in to grams and it turned out fine. My family are eating their cake and their words now! :)

  I tried this cake and everyone thought it was really light and moist, most enjoyable and you should have seen the grandsons face, it was a picture.

  I'd love to make this cake but not sure about measurement. What's 6 tablespoons and 3 cups in grams or ounces? Thanks

  I cooked this cake in the late 70's when working as a cookery teacher in schools. The kids thought I was mad until they tasted it - then they all wanted to make it.
