I'm not a fan of marmalade, never have been for some reason but the parsnip aspect of this came had me intrigued, again.

To quote her,
But a nude parsnip cake? One with wholemeal flour and a scoop of seeds in it? That might be a bit of a hard sell. Parsnips are for roast dinners and perhaps a soup, but a cake?

Hear me out. Once these ghostly and unpromising roots are grated and mixed into the cake they somehow add a certain lightness that isn’t present in many carrot cakes. I’m not sure why. And carrots are naturally sweet when roasted and when juiced, so a cake from these unglamorous winter vegetables doesn’t seem too odd when you think about it.

Now to think how I can adapt the recipe to avoid the bits I don't like...

funny i just reminised on the making of a parsnip and orange cake in your chocolate and beetroot cake, was very trendy with maple syrup and mascapone
