Very similar to a favourite recipe of mine and worked just as well. I add a tablespoon of cocoa to mine and the use the same icing as this recipe, but sprinkle finely grated lemon zest on top.

This cake is always a hit., it is very moist and flavoursome. I use half raw sugar which adds to the richness of flavour. Sometimes I split the cake mix into two 20cm cake tins and ice in between the layers. Reduce the bake time to pr4event drying out.

Fabulous! By mistake I forgot to drain the pineapple and I cooked it twice as long for my oven - with cream cheese icing it was the best yet.

Yummiliscious. So more-ish as rich and moist I had only brown sugar, it kept for a week without spoiling in the heat of summer. My partner works away on a farm. Going to use it for Apple picking farewells. They all love it.
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease 1 x 30cm round cake tin or 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line with baking paper.
Beat eggs, Chelsea White Sugar and oil together until pale and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and mixed spice.
Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture, then fold in the grated carrots, pineapple and walnuts.
Pour mixture into prepared tin or tins and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour (check at 45 minutes for the 20cm tins, if using a 30cm tin it may take slightly more than 1 hour), or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin(s) for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the smaller quantity of Chelsea Icing Sugar, and the lemon juice and rind. Beat until smooth and well combined. Add the extra icing sugar if needed.
If using two cakes, ice the top of one cake generously then place second cake on top. Cover with the rest of the icing. Decorate with chopped walnuts, if desired.
Very similar to a favourite recipe of mine and worked just as well. I add a tablespoon of cocoa to mine and the use the same icing as this recipe, but sprinkle finely grated lemon zest on top.
