Hey guys so sorry for the lack of posting recently what with getting back into a fitness routine and settling in at home again after my holidays, I haven't had time to post, However I'm back and ready to make your weekend better with this fabby recipe!
Ingredients
For the Cake...
175g Plain Flour
175g of Soft Brown Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 a cup of sunflower oil
100g of Walnuts (chopped)
2 Bananas (Preferably ripe)
175g Grated carrot (I bought mine pre grated but feel free to grate them yourself)
1 tsp of Cinnamon
1 tsp of Ground mix spice
1/2 tsp of Nutmeg
1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 tsp of Salt
For the Icing
75g of cream cheese
75g butter
300g of icing sugar
walnuts for decoration
1 tsp Vanilla essence
If you don't have a cup measure (sorry for being inconvenient), find a little converter here, which can help... http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/cups-to-milliliters.htm
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 175 C and make sure to grease your cake tin
2. Mix the eggs and sugar together until they form a thick paste. Add in the rest of the ingredients, flour, bicarb, salt and walnuts first, then oil, then carrot and banana and finally the spices. In all honesty it doesn't matter what order you add the ingredients too much as long as they're all there!
3. Bake for an hour until a skewer comes out clean, it may take longer depeding on your oven.
4. For the icing mix the butter and cream cheese together before adding in the icing sugar, for a less stiff mixture using only half the suggested amount works too!
5. Once the cake has cooled spread the icing over the top and decorate with chopped walnuts.
6. DIG IN
