Notes
Notes from source:
- For a richer version: Change the caster sugar to dark brown sugar; add 1t nutmeg and 1/2t ginger.
- For a vegan version: Remove the eggs, add 1T baking powder, and use a butter alternative.
SJ Notes 4 Dec 2013: This was served at a Walk the Wheel I went to - it was delicious! The recipe was given out, but doesn't include pan size, so I'm guessing from my memory of seeing it - it was quite a shallow cake.
