thanks wendy, I will give it a go as well as I do love home made cake but I am not much good at cakes. Now carrot curry well I manage just fine..........

It's just occurred to me that if you make carrot curry and I make carrot cake, then we'll have no need to worry about needing torches for a trip to the pub!

Hi Wendy

Thanks for posting this recipe, we are going to give it a go and see if we can make it as good as yours.

Looking forward to trying it, I thought we would have to wait till the next Small Motorhome Meet.

I didn't realise that you were into cake baking, Graham.

I don't know about cake baking but I am definitely into cake eating!

Actually I do like messing about in the kitchen, trying different things, as long as Pauline cleans up after me. ;D

I think the "we are going to give it a go" was more of a royal "we" (i.e. Pauline will give it a go!) ;D
