Cardomom Spice Cake Sue Joy

This simple cake was truly scrummy and the kids totally loved it so most of it got packed into their lunch boxes for the week (damn them!).

Notes

Natural New Age Mum made my cake and loved it.
She tweaked it to make it DAIRY FREE for a friend by using coconut oil and coconut milk instead of butter and milk.
She also added some thinly sliced pear to the top and reported back that the cake was divine!
