After making the scrummy banana cake I was lying in bed lastnight wondering if Wally had an equally simple recipe for carrot cake...............great minds think alike so they say:mstickle:

This is friends recipe they gave me - makes yummy yummy moist carrot cake
2 cups SR Flour
2 teaspoons Bicarb of Soda
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
Mix the above dry ingredients in a large bowl
Combine the following ingredients in another bowl and beat thoroughly
1 1/2 cups of sunflower oil
2 cups castor sugar
4 eggs
Add the dry ingredients to the above and beat again
Add 3 cups of grated carrots (about 12/14 ounces) fold into the mixture.
Pour into a baking tin and bake for 50 mins at 160C - normally use loaf tins and this will make about 3/4lb loaves or about a 10 inch round (i think)
Frosting:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
4 oz cream cheese (philly or similar) i use low fat
2 tablespoons butter
1 teasp Lemon or orange juice
Beat the cheese, butter and lemon juice until smooth. Ass the icing sugar and beat ONLY until combine and smooth. Don't overbeat or frosting will go runny
Spread over cakes when cool
