surprisingly carrot cake isnt that healthy.... it still has the same amount of sugar in it but has the extra sweetness of carrots.
Heres a nice sponge cake one:
Ingredients
175g unsalted butter
175g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
175g self-raising flour
Filling
3 tbsp strawberry jam
500ml double cream
Method
1. Set the oven to 180C/gas 4. Lightly butter two sandwich tins, each with a diameter of 20cm.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar together until light & fluffy, then add the beaten egg a bit at a time.
3. Fold in the sifted flour & spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tins.
4. Bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool & then remove from the tins.
5. Whip cream until thick & use it to fill the sponge with the jam.
6. Dust liberally with icing sugar to serve.

Orange icing haha, or icing sugar with red and yella food colouring. Maybe use sweets to decorate

You could use white icing a do a ghost, orange food colouring to the icing and do a pumpkin
just found this wicked pic..... simple to do, instead of using just a dusting of icing sugar on top, make some icing mix using icing sugar and water in two pots, add some black colouring to one and then decorate as the following:
Kiz, the icing on that looks like buttercream ummm :P yummy

It seems pretty simple to do too.... just a basic sponge but with added food colouring in the right places

I usually put lemon flavoured icing on top and sprinkle it with chocolate chips... yum... so it will be nice to have a jam sponge for a change ;)
