Velvet Antlers Iced Carrot Cake
Oh yeah, it's as good as it looks. This week's recipe is our Carrot Cake, made last night again by Dave, who couldn't wait any longer for Claire to get it made!
Ingredients:250 grams of carrots, grated
3 medium eggs
130ml vegetable oil
150g caster sugar
230g self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Icing:
120 grams cream cheese
120 grams icing sugar
Preheat your oven to 180 celcius or gas 4. Mix your eggs, oil and caster sugar together in a bowl, then add the flour, baking powder and a bicarb and beat the mix well. Stir in the grated carrots and pour the mixture into a lined loaf tin. Bake for 50 minutes until browned and firm on top. Leave the cake in it's tin for 5 minutes on a rack, then turn it out to cool while you get the icing ready.
Mix your cream cheese and icing sugar tegether and beat well until its really smooth.
Ice with a pallet knife and put the cake in the fridge for a bit if you want to firm up the icing.Tip: get your husband to do all of the above.

"get your husband to do all of the above"
hahahaha :-) I wish, but he doesn't like carrot cake (no, I haven't worked that one out either).....and I suppose he's not my husband, either!
Looks fantastic.

You should write a recipe book, it could be an ebook like Dave's How to climb hard trad.
Claire and Dave's cook along live for the rainy Scottish weekends.
Could I have a request for the next recipie: Lemon Drizzle cake, my fave :p Maybe it could be adjusted to make a Midge Drizzle cake...
