Simple cake to make and absolutely delicious! Moist with just the right amount of spice and nutty flavour from the walnuts.

My first time making carrot cake and it turned out delicious, full of flavour and moist (although slightly too sweet), next time I will use maybe 2/3 of a cup of sugar, but think I have found a recipe for life!

Really is best ever carrot cake! Definitely recommend this recipe. I usually add slightly less icing sugar to the icing since my family prefer it less sweet.

Too much oil! Stank out my kitchen with hot oil smells while it was baking.
Pre-heat oven to 180°C bake (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 23cm cake tin (6cm deep) and line with baking paper.
Sift Edmonds Self Raising Flour, spices and Edmonds Baking Soda into a large mixing bowl. Stir in Edmonds Wholemeal Flour and Chelsea Raw Sugar or Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar. Add walnuts, carrot, raisins and coconut and stir until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Simply Canola Oil and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until cooked (when a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean). Remove from oven, cool for 10 minutes then remove from the cake tin and peel away the paper. Swirl icing over the cake once cold.
Cream Cheese Icing Beat Tararua Butter and cream cheese together until combined. Stir in Chelsea Icing Sugar, then beat mixture on high speed until light and fluffy.
Simple cake to make and absolutely delicious! Moist with just the right amount of spice and nutty flavour from the walnuts.
