I made this cake with a few modifications and he LOVES it! Says that it rivals his favorite carrot cake recipe. In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Steps to make Carrot Cake:
- Grate the carrot.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180C. I wait for this step until I've grated the carrot or it reaches temperature too quickly! Line the tin with baking paper.
- Combine the grated carrot with the sugar, orange zest, oil, eggs and raisins in a large bowl.
- Add the flour, bicarb and spices. I always find freshly grated nutmeg gives more flavour.
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Pour into a 18cm square baking tray and bake for roughly 40-45 minutes. The cake should be springy in the centre and a skewer should come out clean.
- Juice half the orange.
- Combine the orange juice with roughly 100g icing sugar- add gradually! You're looking for a consistency of double cream to drizzle over the cake
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing.
