My fiance LOVES carrot cake, and yesterday was his birthday so I decided to look for a carrot cake recipe. He was very specific that he wanted pineapple, coconut and lots of nuts in his carrot cake. I made this cake with a few modifications and he LOVES it!

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have carrot cake using 13 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:
  1. Make ready 8 oz SR Flour
  2. Make ready 5 oz Brown Sugar
  3. Take 4 oz Carrots (grated)
  4. Take 2 oz Sultanas or Walnuts (your preference)
  5. Take 5 oz Oil
  6. Make ready 2 Large Eggs
  7. Get 2 Ripe Bananas
  8. Make ready 2 tsp Baking Powder
  9. Make ready topping
  10. Prepare 6 oz Cream Cheese
  11. Get 2 oz Softened Butter
  12. Get 4 oz Icing Sugar
  13. Make ready Few drops Vanilla Essence

In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

Instructions to make Carrot Cake:
  1. For the sponge, put all the above ingredients for the sponge in a bowl and mix well. Then pour into a medium sized round baking tin. Bake in oven for 40 - 45 mins at 170 degrees (fan assisted). Allow to cool.
  2. Cream cheese topping. Again put all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Then apply to the top of the sponge.

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. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
