Preheat oven to 180°/350F/gas 4 and grease 23 cm. round cake tins and line with greaseproof paper. In a bowl mix all ingredients with a wooden spoon. Then pour into the tins. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the cake springs back when presssed and a skewer comes out clean. Leave in the tin until cool. For the icing, mix all the ingredients and spread over the top of the cake and decorate with walnuts or any way you like.

Introduction
The recipe for this cake is very old. It is an egg free cake and even so I would describe it as moist with cinnamon and clove aroma and honestly very simply to make.
