OOoo Leanne well done!! It looks fantastic!
Holly, YUM!
My carrot cake recipe.........
140ml groundnut oil
2 eggs
200g light brown sugar
300g grated carrots, (grated weight)
75g walnuts, chopped (optional)
180g self-raising flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1 orange juice and rind
1. Preheat the oven to 160degrees , grease 2 7" tins
2. beat the eggs in a large bowl, then add the oil, brown sugar, grated carrot , orange and rind
3. Sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and bring the mixture together using a wooden or large metal spoon until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tins seperating evenly, smooth the surface and bake in the oven for about 30 mins..... just keep an eye on it, then until a skewer comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for about five minutes before removing. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Then i level out the 2 cakes, and sandwich together with Hollys cream cheese frosting (its on the 1st page of this thread)
then cover the whole cake in the rest of the frosting, sticking the walnuts round the edge
I am about to have some of the one I made yesterday!
