If your mum loves a classic carrot cake then this will certainly please her! The addition of sticky and sweet steam ginger in syrup is a game changer for keen bakers who often whip up a carrot cake, and the generous recommended amount of grated carrot will ensure your cake stays moist and moreish.
Cinnamon is often added to a classic version of this but adding in ginger and carraway seeds, plus orange zest if you fancy, will bring new levels of scent and flavour.The fiery frosting is equally as delicious and might even be the star of the show, but don't be afraid of trying a healthier dollop of sour cream on the side if you're feeling adventurous.
