We serve this cake with a variety of garnishes. Sometimes we frost it with an orange glaze or brush with water and sugar and curls of shaved carrots. We also add minced dates or raisins to the batter. When doing so we sometimes add more moisture by way of butter or oil. This is a good cake to wrap and give away for a fresh gift from the kitchen!
