Classic carrot cake with moist crumb and creamy frosting.
Ingredients:
  • Olive oil, to grease
  • 80g brown sugar
  • 185ml olive oil
  • 125ml golden syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 150g self-raising flour
  • 75g plain flour
  • 2.50 gm Bicarbonate Soda
  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon
  • 2 (about 300g) carrots, peeled and grated
  • 80g icing sugar
  • 2.20 gm vanilla essence
  • 250g spreadable cream cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 170C (150C fan-forced). Lightly grease a 20cm round cake pan with oil and line it with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a large bowl, gently sift together the flours, bicarbonate of soda, and cinnamon for a perfect blend of flavors.
  • Combine the brown sugar, oil, golden syrup, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Whisk until well mixed.
  • Combine the oil mixture with the dry ingredients and gently stir using a wooden spoon until just mixed. Fold in the grated carrot.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for one hour. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Combine cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  • Smoothly coat the cake with the icing.
