He was very specific that he wanted pineapple, coconut and lots of nuts in his carrot cake.

To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook carrot cake using 12 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:

1. Make ready 160 ml sunflower oil
2. Make ready 3 eggs
3. Make ready 150 g carrot
4. Take Zest of an orange
5. Take 100 g raisins/sultanas
6. Take 175 g light muscovado sugar
7. Make ready 175 g self raising flour
8. Prepare 1 tsp Cinammon
9. Prepare 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
10. Get 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
11. Prepare 100 g icing sugar
12. Make ready Orange juice

Try it and I think you will agree that it is the best!! In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Instructions to make Carrot Cake:

1. Grate the carrot.
2. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180C. I wait for this step until I've grated the carrot or it reaches temperature too quickly! Line the tin with baking paper.
3. Combine the grated carrot with the sugar, orange zest, oil, eggs and raisins in a large bowl.
4. Add the flour, bicarb and spices. I always find freshly grated nutmeg gives more flavour.
5. Mix all the ingredients together.
6. Pour into a 18cm square baking tray and bake for roughly 40-45 minutes. The cake should be springy in the centre and a skewer should come out clean.
7. Juice half the orange.
8. Combine the orange juice with roughly 100g icing sugar- add gradually! You're looking for a consistency of double cream to drizzle over the cake

I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work.
