Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F. Generously grease a 9- by 13-inch pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and ginger. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (both flours, nettles, baking soda, salt and cinnamon). Lightly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently mix in the grated parsnip and carrots.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until a knife comes out clean. Serve with Vanilla-Cinnamon Cream and powdered sugar and/or cinnamon.
