Right, here you all are, this is my carrot cake recipe, hope you all enjoy!!!!

 

12 ½ oz CARROT

2 oz WALNUTS

4 oz SELF RAISING WHOLEMEAL FLOUR

4 oz PLAIN WHOLEMEAL FLOUR

2 TSP CINNAMON

1 TSP GROUND CARDAMOM

1 TSP GROUND GINGER

1/2 TSP NUTMEG

1 TSP BICARB

6 oz SOFT BROWN SUGAR

4 EGGS

2 TBSP GOLDEN SYRUP

6 FLoz GROUNDNUT OIL

2 FLoz WALNUT OIL

 

FILLING

7 oz CREAM CHEESE

2 oz UNSALTED BUTTER

2 oz ICING SUGAR

1 TSP VANILLA EXTRACT

 

These Quantities make a 9” round cake

 

start off by grating carrots and chopping 2 oz Walnuts. Put to one side

sieve together self raising and plain flours, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and bicarb. (Tip the bran pieces back into the mix once sieved)

whisk together groundnut oil, walnut oil, sugar eggs and golden syrup ands add to the dry mixture. Mix until smooth. Stir in the carrots and Walnuts.

Tip the mixture into a greased lined tin and bake at 160 centigrade for approx 1 hour, or until cooked.

 

For the topping, mix the cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract and chill until the cake has cooled. Decorate as required

 

I tend to double up and make a layered cake, it tends to hold the moisture better!
