Ingredients:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 155g brown sugar
  • 8.80 gm vanilla essence
  • 125ml olive oil
  • 450g self-raising flour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 55g pecan
  • 250g light cream cheese
  • 75.00 gm icing sugar, sifted
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice

Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a 23cm round cake tin with baking paper. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla essence until creamy. Slowly pour in olive oil while continuously beating the mixture.
  • Sift the flour with baking powder and cinnamon over the mixture. Gently fold in the carrots, bananas, pineapple, and pecans until fully combined.
