Classic Spice cake

I love making this recipe, it’s quick and easy and so delicious! Its perfect for any time of year but especially good in the cooler months.

It can be served hot with custard or cold with a cup of tea or coffee.

I sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking and it makes a delicious crust.
