Everyday Baking
I enjoy baking – but as with all my other cooking – I like to keep it simple and fun. I don’t like over complicated recipes and cooking that is too time consuming. This cake recipe is simple enough to cook with children. You can vary the spice content too – add nutmeg and cloves to vary the flavour.
