Carrot cake is right up there as a favorite cake of mine, it is also my dad's favorite.
I had some "mummy friends" (that what Dylan calls them) over yesterday so I made this, yum!
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 cup sugar (I used white)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup grated carrots (2 medium)
1/3 cup sultanas
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup oil (a light flavor such as canola/sunflower)
1 tsp vanilla essence
Mix dry ingredients. Add carrots and sultanas and mix in. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour into lined cake tin and bake at 180 for roughly 35 - 45 minutes.
Cool in tin 10 mins then place cake on wire rack to cool completely.
Ice with the best icing in the world!
Cream Cheese Icing
Blend together 125g cream cheese and 65g softened butter or margarine (an electric beater works best for this)
When it is smooth start adding sifted icing sugar, roughly 1/3 cup at a time. Beat well between each addition. Add as much as you like for the sweetness you like!
Spread over cooled cake.
Devour.
