Carrot Cake

Ingredients

1&1/4 cups Oil
2 cups Flour I (1 cup wholemeal,1 cup plain)
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Baking Powder
3 Eggs, beaten
3 cups Carrots
1 cup Sultanas
1 cup Walnuts

Topping
4 oz Cream Cheese
4 oz Butter
1 sachet Vanilla sugar
8 oz Icing sugar

Method

· Beat oil and sugar until nice and smooth.

· Sieve flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.

· Add carrots, sultanas and walnuts to the flour mixture and mix.

· Now start mixing in the eggs and then the oil & sugar mixture .

· Pour into an oiled loaf tin.

· Bake at Gas mark 5 for about an hour.

· Cream the cheese and butter. Add the sugar and mix.

· When the cake has cooled down, turn on to wire rack and top with the creamed cheese. The amount that I used will only cover the top of the cake, if you prefer to cover the whole of the cake make double the amount.

· Sprinkle some grated carrot and chopped walnuts to give it that finishing touch.
