Carrot Cake


My favourite of all desserts is Carrot Cake. I will have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner....and  most times I eat the whole cake...lol!

Most cakes are dry, some oily...but this is a perfect recipe, or at least I think so...


Ingredients:

250 ml - Oil
300 ml - Sugar
3 - Eggs
2 Cups - Flour
5ml - Bicarbonate of soda
5ml - ground nutmeg
7ml - Ground Cinnamon
10ml - Baking Powder
5 Carrots - Grated
Chopped Pecans - handful

Beat eggs and sugar together and add oil. Sift dry ingredients and add to the liquid mix. Add the grated carrots and pecans.
Pour into a greased baking tin and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour oat 180 degrees celcius.

Icing:

50ml - soft butter
2ml - vanilla essence
700ml - Icing sugar

Mix ingredaients together and ice when cake is cool. For a touch of excellence, add in about 1/2 cup of cream cheese to your icing mix.
