Dirty Carrot Cake
I made this cake thinking it was going to be pretty healthy, what with the absence of butter and use of sunflower oil instead. But when you eat it, it has the definite inklings of a cake that is more naughty for you than it should be. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2009/11/dirty-carrot-cake.html Ingredients
- 175ml sunflower oil
- 175g golden caster sugar
- 175g self-raising flour
- 100g dried mixed fruit
- 3 finely grated carrots
- 3 beaten eggs
- grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Half tsp ground nutmeg
- 175g icing sugar
- 2 tbsp orange juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Mix the sugar, oil and eggs. Stir in the carrots, dried fruit and zest.
- Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Fold into the mixture carefully until all is smooth.
- Pour into a shallow rectangular baking tray and stick in the oven for 45 minutes.
- As you leave the cake to cool, beat the icing sugar and juice in a jug. Drizzle the frosting generously over the cake, then cut into squares.
