Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake

Ingredients

  • 250 ml sunflower oil

  • 4 large eggs

  • 225 g light brown sugar

  • 200 g grated carrots

  • 300 g self-raising flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • 75 g walnuts, shelled and chopped

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a round cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the cake mixture. Spoon the mixture in your cake tin.

  3. Put the cake in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown, risen, and shrinking away from the sides of the tin. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  4. I do not like the traditional icings (cream cheease, butter etc) so I make a sugar icing with icing sugar and orange water.

  5. Spread the thick icing on the cake and decorate with marzipan carrots.

Note: this recipe is based on Mary Berry’s carrot cake recipe
