Cake Recipes

Easy carrot cakeIngredients

230ml vegetable oil, plus extra for the tin 100g natural yogurt 4 large eggs 1½ tsp vanilla extract ½ an orange

265g self-raising flour

335g light muscovado sugar 2½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ fresh nutmeg

finely grated

265g carrots

The carrot, with its distinctive bright orange colour,

is one of the most versatile root…

 (about 3), grated

100g sultanas or raisins 100g walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

For the icing

100g slightly salted butter

softened

300g icing sugar

100g full-fat cream chees

Method1. 1) Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the

base and sides of two 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. Whisk the oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla and zest in a jug. Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with a good pinch of salt in a bowl. Squeeze any lumps of sugar through your fingers, shaking the bowl a few times to bring the lumps to the surface.

2.3. 2) Add the wet ingredients to the dry, along with the

carrots, raisins and half the nuts, if using. Mix well to combine, then divide between the tins. Bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. If any wet mixture clings to the skewer, return to the oven for 5 mins, then check again. Leave to cool in the tins.

4.5. 3) To make the icing, beat the butter and sugar

together until smooth. Add half the cream cheese and beat again, then add the rest (adding it bit by bit prevents the icing from splitting). Remove the cakes from the tins and sandwich together with half the icing. Top with the remaining icing and scatter with the remaining walnuts. Will keep in the fridge for up to five days. Best eaten at room temperature.
