Whats the difference btw the normal flour and self raising flour?

The second contains baking powder/salt.

No icing? and those little red and green carrots they have on top?. I would rather go buy one.

FYI: It isn't the icing wali carrots that give it its name or taste!

Great recipe Femme, got one for the cream cheese icing as well please?

I always make mine without icing. Nothing like a warm freshly baked cake with tea.
