Lesley Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I posted a Honey and Carrot cake - think it was October time. It doesn't have squashed flies in it as I don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have the recipe of one I make a lot. I make it in the breadmaker as in my breadmaker recipe book but I am sure of you dont have one it can just go in the oven. Has no raisins but does have walnuts. best thing for me is has no dairy in and my daughter has dairy allergy. The topping however does have dairy as has icing sugar and philadlhia. Its truly amazing and gets eaten in a day here! Will post it on later. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Jus, try this one. This is VERY tried and tested. My friend Clare makes this over and over for 'thankyou's' I have made it too. Its brilliant.

fluffyknickers Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 here it is 2 eggs 165g brown sugar half cup of olive oil half cup of walnuts - chopped 1 and half cups grated carrot half tsp cinnamon 90g SR flour 90g strong plain white flour 1tsp bicarb soda I do this in the breadmaker on the cake setting and it really is amazing! However i would imagine you get just as good results in a normal oven Beat the eggs, oil, sugar and add the carrots and walnuts stiring in. Sift together the cinnamon, flours and bicarb soda and fold in to the wet ingredients and pour into a loaf tin baking til golden on top. topping 250g cream cheese 50 g soft butter 2tbsp lemon juice 125g icing sugar Whip all ingredients til creamy and top on the cooled cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
