I have been struggling for a while finding a recipe for a decent carrot cake. Carrot cakes are tricky beasts and most recipes are too sweet. But do try this one:
175 g Sugar
3 Eggs
175 ml Sunflower Oil
175 g Coarsely Grated Carrot
1 small tin of Pineapple
100 g Chopped Walnuts
280 g Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
Frosting:
100 g Cream Cheese
80 g of Icing Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
25 g Chopped Walnuts
Making it couldn't be easier. Cut the pineapple into chunks, chop the walnuts a bit and throw everything in a bowl and give it a good run with an electric mixer. Fill into a greased tin and bake for 1 hour at 180 degrees. After baking let it cool for a while. Give the cheese/icing sugar a run in a blender and spread over the cake. That's it - best one ever.
