I love boiled cakes and this one didn't disappoint - and it is eggless! So easy to make with ingredients usually at hand and nice and moist because it is boiled. The spice blend lends a lovely flavour. I made double the quantity and it froze well too. Will be making this again. A good basic cake. Thanks Marie.
