For best results it would be best to use this size cake tin. It is difficult to advise a bake time without testing the recipe in a 12cm x 5cm tin. The estimated baking time would be 30 minutes., approved=true, user_name=Sue, hs_createdate=1702249868686, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175374863}, {comment_text=I love this recipe, I use it all the time and it never fails!Chelsea, is there a way this recipe can be made gluten free and still give the same wonderful results?CHELSEA: Great you love it!

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.
