When i first made this recipe, it had 1.5 cups of oil in it, 3 eggs and the cake it made was HUGE. (fine if you're feeding a crowd, but for a small family birthday, i dont think so) Anyway, this is my revised version, Still just as good as ever.

1 cup plain flour
1 cup self-raising flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
