In the days when sugar was an expensive ingredient, cooks looked for alternatives to sweeten their baking. Parsnips and potatoes, pumpkin and marrow all found their way into cakes. Perhaps because it is the most successful, the longest survivor seems to be the carrot cake. My version has a light texture and delicately spiced flavour and is topped with the customary cream cheese frosting.
