Older children enjoy cake as an occasional

treat but plain sponge cakes can be a little
boring for them. Carrots have been added as
they add variety and also provide substantial
amounts of vitamin a and fibre. Cinnamon,
nutmeg, honey and jaggery impart delicious
flavours to this cake. This cake is really a great
"tiffin box" item that your baby will enjoy
during play time.
