Tips:
I omitted the bi carb and substituted wholemeal self raising flour for the spelt. I didn't have any raisins so I used sultanas. You could also sub some of the raisins for dried cranberries or used dried mixed fruit instead.

Cookie - The flavour of this is double yum. It is so very easy to make too. I altered it slightly and added the raisins with the flour and mixed it on reverse. It will definitely be made again and again.
Katiej - I made this using wholemeal spelt. I used a mix of raisins, sultanas and dried cherries. The first time I've made a cake using spelt, so it was good to try something new. It's really delicious!
Katj - Den, your pumpkin cake is Delicious!! So easy to prepare. Family members who don't usually eat cake thought it was awesome! Thank you so much for posting the recipe.
Chookie - it is a seriously good cake. The only change I made to original recipe is that I added a handful of walnuts to the mix with Craisins.

Looks very moist Katie.Hmm I wonder if I could fool DH with this recipe ;) :D Made chocolate zucchini muffins once and he sussed out the "hidden" ingredient :D :D

CC I try to hide ingredients from DW too but it doesn't always work. LOl ;D
