Thomas’ Carroty Cake

IMG_2822

Recipe from Bake Me a Cake as Fast as You Can published by Ebury Press, £14.99. 

Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
  • 250 g light soft brown sugar
  • 250 ml sunflower or vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tsp grated orange zest
  • 300 g carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 100 g sultanas
  • 75 g walnut pieces (optional – Thomas would not allow these in his cake)
  • For the cream cheese icing:
  • 150 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 40 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 500 g icing sugar

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F/Gas 3). Line two 20-cm loosebottomed cake tins with cake tin liners or use non-stick baking paper.
  • Put all the ingredients for the cake in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix until well combined, although Thomas mixes this in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.
  • Scrape the mixture into the prepared tins and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm yet springy to the touch.
  • Prepare the cream cheese icing. Put the cream cheese, butter, orange juice and vanilla into a bowl with half the icing sugar and beat well with an electric hand-held whisk; alternatively whizz in a food processor. Add the remaining icing sugar and whisk or whizz until smooth and fluffy – this will take about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool before sandwiching together with the icing
