Trish Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Here one I use sometimes, sounds oily but it comes out buttery and moist and we really like it. Carrot cake 10oz castor sugar 8floz sunflower oil 3 eggs 6oz flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp salt 8oz grated carrots 4oz chopped walnuts or pecans For the frosting 3oz cream cheese 1 1/2oz butter 3tbsp icing sugar set oven to 350F, 175C, gas mark 4 Put sugar in a bowl and stir in the oilbreak in the eggs one at a time and beat until each egg is well amalgamated. In another bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add these a spoon at a time to the first mixture. Finally stir in the carrots and nuts. Put the mixture in a lined tin and bake for 70-80 minutes. For the frosting Beat the cream chees till soft cut the butter into small piece and mash it into the cheese, when well blended stir in the sugar. Once cake is cold spoon frosting over the cake.

The Dogmother Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks very much for that Trish - I'll print it off and have a go - will report back (if it's rubbish, then I can blame it on you ). I remember that the recipe I had used roughly that amount of oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 That's what being a Mum is all about, isn't it? Thanks again Trish, I'll make it this weekend I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Thanks from me too Trish. I'll try and make some when I get a spare moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Martin do you want to do a house swap and I'll send my boys to live at your jouse for a few weeks, months, years (Honestly I do love my boys very much they are just all at a very prickly stage at the mo. Bad enough when they do it one a once but three together is driving me nuts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Trish just book yourself into the nearest Spa for a day of pampering and forget all about them for a while - sounds like you need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 That's one of the reasons I'm doing the massage course, at the mo we are practising on each other. Plus I'm going for a massage once a month just for me. A couple of years at a Spa sounds great though thanks for the thought Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Thanks for the recipe Trish - it turned absolutely beautifully and there's only a quarter left now! I was talking to Phil while I made the icing though, and wasn't paying attention, so it's a tad runny Ta everso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
