The cake was quite moist. But the icing quantity was way too much. I did put all of it on the cake but it wasn't edible with it , too sugary so had to remove it.

Fantastic

super easy to make, delicious to eat!

This turns out alright and I used macadamia nuts. The icing and cake was intensely sweet so next time I will add coconut extract to the icing (I find it makes it less sweet and you can hardly taste it) and 2/3 of a cup of sugar to cake.

Yes, a lovely cake. I make the recipe with Chelsea LoGiCane sugar, omit the walnuts in the cake but sprinkle them over the icing. I will try it as a muffin recipe as well.

Perfect! Easy to make and was a hit with family and friends. Love the walnuts and the raw sugar gives a nice caramel flavour.

Method

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.
