Carrot Cake!

1 1/4 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
100g (4 oz) chopped walnuts -- optional!
2 eggs, lightly beaten
225g (8 oz) caster sugar
5 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar
100ml (4 fl oz) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250g (9 oz) grated carrots
125g (4 1/2 oz) crushed pineapple
200g (7 oz) plain flour

(sorry I had to de-Americanize the recipe so the measurements were UK friendly!)

eat together the eggs, caster sugar and brown sugar in a bowl, and mix in the oil and vanilla. Fold in carrots and pineapple. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Mix flour mixture into the carrot mixture until evenly moist. Fold in 1/2 of the walnuts. Transfer to the prepared muffin tin.

Bake about 180 for roughly 25 min or until knife is clean!


I use this recipe for cupcakes too! and make a cream cheese frosting or creamcheese and orange frosting!
