I'm making a carrot cake for my little sister for her birthday this Friday, and I was wondering if anyone has any different recipes than the same old same old? Greatly appreciated! :2thumbsup:
This is my favourite. I don't think it needs the traditional cream cheese frosting but if it's for a birthday - yeah 250g/9oz plain flour 2tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 150g/6oz brown sugar 50g/2 oz chopped walnuts 220g/8oz chopped tinned pineapples handful of sultanas 2 mashed bananas flesh of a passion fruit 150g/5oz grated carrots 150ml/5 fluid ounces corn oil (or sunflower) 3 eggs Heat oven to 160ºC Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarb and salt into a large bowl This is the good bit - throw everything else in and mix well until it's all incorporated Pour into a 9 inch cake tin and bake for about an hour/ hour and a quarter If it looks like it's getting a bit too brown put a piece of baking foil on the top I'm sure if you make carrot cake you will have a recipe for the frosting.
Yeah I got an icing recipe already, thank you very much I'll use this recipe it sounds good!! :2thumbsup:
