Simple and lovely taste. I did deviate slightly, using less sugar, a grated apple and little less oil. I also vary icing by mixing cream cheese and some icing sugar, then combining with whipped cream. It makes the icing lighter and less sweet.

Mike

Easy carrot cake recipe. I put into muffin cases with cream cheese topping. Turned out perfect.

I made this cake for a party and the compliments were rolling in. I even had some asking where I purchased it from. It was an absolute hit and I cannot wait to make it again. Best cake ever!

Kate

Been using this recipe for over a year and it never fails....love it

Jenny

Fabulous recipe. As I don't like raisins or sultanas, I just replaced them with more coconut.

Lovely moist cake my husbands favourite!

I changed it to 1/2 cup of sugar in the cake and 2-3 tbsp of sugar in the icing to reduce the amount of sugar. Also added chopped up sunflower and pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts. Super yummy!

Elsie

best easy carrot cake

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.
