PARSNIP & GINGER CAKE

Now to be perfectly honest, no one really needs an excuse to eat cake but this one is guaranteed to give your taste buds a cause for celebration. It’s simply delicious and fantastic with a classic cuppa! Pale yellow or ivory in colour and shaped like a slightly bulbous carrot, parsnips are one of the tastiest and most appealing root vegetables. Cheap and simple to prepare, their soft, fragrant, slightly sweet flesh adds a warm, comforting element to dishes. Half a cup of sliced, cooked parsnips has 3 grams of fibre and only 55 calories. They are a good source of vitamin C (11% of the recommended daily allowance), folate (11%), and manganese (10%). Keep in a perforated, unsealed plastic bag in the bottom of the fridge. They can last for 2 or 3 weeks but keep a check and use them before they get soft or withered.
