chocolate, ginger & walnut carrot cake

Now, this cake isn't much of a looker, but trust me it tastes amazing. I think my my mistake was putting into too large a cake tin, which has left it looking a bit flat. It's not a fancy, dinner party cake, more the type that you whip up and secretly scoff all to yourself.

It also fills your kitchen with a lovely  christmassy, spicy smell when baking.
