Hi Kitty Kat

Here is another one for you to try out. It has been years since I made it but from what I remember it was great – probably the main reason I stopped making it was because I kept eating it!!!!:lol:

Cake Ingredients

6 oz carrots (peeled and grated)
4 oz self raising wholemeal flour
4 oz self raising flour
5 oz light brown muscovado sugar
2 oz walnuts, chopped
2 bananas mashed
5 fl oz vegetable oil
2 x 5 ml tsp baking powder
3 eggs (size 3), beaten
1 x 5ml tsp mixed spice

Mix above thoroughly and bake in a greased 21 cm (8”) round tin for 45-50 minutes (Gas Mark 4/180°C/350°F).

Topping Ingredients

Mix 3 oz unsalted butter and 3 oz cream cheese.

Then add 2.5 ml vanilla essence and 8 oz icing sugar.

Hope you enjoy

Nibbler, that is a great recipe. It makes a lovely moist, tasty (so I am told) cake.


As I am on a diet it is the best cake I could make just now, cos I can't get past the thought of the oil so can't bring myself to eat it.


Everyone else appreciates it though lol

Ingredients

375g caster sugar
250g butter (unsalted)
4 medium sized eggs
450g grated carrots
1 orange (juice of)
150g chopped almonds
2 grated orange rind
250g plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp mixed spices
1 tbsp vanilla essence
pinch of salt
Icing

225g soft cheese
65g unsalted butter
(make sure both butter and cheese are at room temperature)
400g sifted icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method

1. Heat up an oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Grease a 23cm/9in cake tin.
3. Beat the butter, orange rind and sugar until fluffy.
4. Add the eggs (not too fast), beat them well one by one before adding the rest.
5. Add the grated carrot and chopped almonds.
6. Add the vanilla essence and orange juice.
7. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, spice and salt together, then mix this into the cake mixture.
8. Move the mixture into the prepared spring-form tin and bake in the oven for about 45 mins to 1 hour. To check if the cake is ready, insert a skewer into the middle of the cake, if this comes up quite clean, then the cake should be done.
9. For the preparation of the icing, cream the cheese and the butter together until they are nice and smooth.
10. Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence, and mix until smooth. This frosting should be quite rich
11. Spread the icing generously over the top of the cake and you are done!
