me k

made this used olive oil instead of canola oil, turned out super oily and olive oil flavoured😧just saying incase someone else thinks to do this.

Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC bake / 160ºC fan bake. Grease a 23cm round cake tin (6cm deep) and line with baking paper.

Sift self raising flour, baking soda and spices into a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar and wholemeal flour. Add carrot, walnuts, sultanas and coconut and mix in.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil and vanilla together. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Pour mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until cooked (cake should spring back when lightly pressed on top, and a skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean).

Cool in tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Once completely cool, swirl icing over the top.

Cream Cheese Icing
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add icing sugar and beat on low speed to combine. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy.
