To celebrate my husband's 30th birthday I've made him a Carrot Cake as requested. Definitely the best carrot cake recipe I've tasted so I thought I’d share it with you.

INGREDIENTS

3 Eggs

150g Soft Dark Brown Sugar

110g Vegetable Oil

150g Wholemeal Flour

15g Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg

75g Desiccated Coconut

75g Mixed Fruit

55g Walnuts

300g Grated Carrot

250g Cream Cheese

250g Butter

350g Icing Sugar

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

In a large mixing bowl add the eggs, soft dark brown sugar, vegetable oil, wholemeal flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Mix them all together until well combined.

Once the mixture is smooth, add the desiccated coconut, mixed fruit, walnuts and grated carrot to the bowl.

Mix into the batter.

Grease your baking tins with butter or oil.

Add the batter to the baking tin and put it in the oven for 30 minutes.

Test to check if the cake is done, if so take iut the oven and leave to cool before icing.

While the cakes cool make up your cream cheese frosting by whipping your softened butter and incing sugar together. Once well creamed mix in the cream cheese. Put the frosting in the fridge until the cakes cool.

Put together your cake using the frosting in the middle and on the top. This frosting is not very stiff so I put the cake back in the fridge until we want to eat it!
