Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake

A lovely moist carrot cake, not too spicy, but you could spice it up more if you are so inclined. Best baked in a loaf, ring tin or as large muffins.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Flour

  • 2 cups Sugar

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (more if you like it super spicy)

  • 1 teaspoon Mixed Spice

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • 3 Eggs

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence

  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

  • 1 cup drained, Crushed Pineapple

  • 2 cups grated Carrot

  • 1 ½ cups Sunflower Oil or Canola

Carrot Cake

Preparation

  • Mix all dry ingredients well.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Bake for 1 hour or more at 325 degrees Celcius (depending on the size tin you use).

Ice with Cream Cheese icing and decorate with sunflower and pumpkin seeds and finely chopped dried apricots.

I often use the "sniff test" to know when my cakes are ready!  General rule of thumb I've found is that when I get the lovely scent of the baked cake it's usually ready to be removed from the oven!  However, if you have more success with an oven timer, then stick to what you know!
