Recipe Introduction

Here is how to make Carrot Cake this #NationalCarrotCakeDay My recipe also contains ground almonds and is made with a cream cheese frosting.

Cooking Directions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c/350f.
  2. Sieve the Self Raising Flour and Bicarbonate of Soda into a mixing bowl.
  3. Then add the Dark Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ground Almonds, Sunflower Oil and Vanilla Extract into the bowl.
  4. Break in the Eggs and grate in the peeled Carrots and the zest from the Orange.
  5. Thoroughly mix everything together until combined and nice and smooth.
  6. Pour the Carrot Cake mixture into a baking tin that is lined with greaseproof or parchment paper.
  7. Place into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes.
  8. In the meantime, make the topping by pouring the Icing Sugar and Cream Cheese into a mixing bowl.
  9. Little by little, mix in some of the juice squeezed from the orange. For a thick topping use less juice, for a drizzle use more juice. Leave to set in the fridge whilst the Carrot Cake is baking.
  10. Once the cake is golden on top and a knife comes out clean, remove from the oven and leave to cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
  11. Spread the topping over the Carrot Cake and then it's ready to serve.
