    Tastes like carrot cake, i replaced the raisins with some dates and walnuts and it was delicious, gave it 4 stars because they measured the butter in tablespoons

    question

    What size/shape cake tin?

    randella

    Can we have the cup size converted to a weight, please? I've had this problem before, where there is no such thing as one single cup size, so how is everyone managing? (Sorry, I should have entered this as a Question, not a Comment, but the Questions section doesn't seem to work)

    question

    Several people have asked in the Comments for a conversion for the cup measurements - can we have an answer please?

    question

    Why has nobody been able to come back with conversion weights for the cup measurements, please?
