Hi Steadyberry,

Carrot Cake recipe specially for you :

Easy Carrot Cake

Ingredients :
4 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
I cup oil ( I use slightly less)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon powder
4 cups grated carrots ( juice need to be squeezed out till quite dry)
1 cup each walnuts & raisins ( I use less walnut as not too fond of it – break them into smaller pieces )
250g cream cheese (softened) , a bit of butter + 5 tbsp icing sugar for the Topping

Steps:
1. Beat the eggs ( manually will do – this recipe doesn't use the mixer at all)
2. Stir in brown sugar
3. Stir in oil
4. Mix in sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda & cinnamon
5. Add in grated carrots
6. Add in walnuts & raisins

Bake at 175 degree celsius for abt 45 mins ( I use 21cm round pan) or until prick test passed.

After cake cooled, whip the cream cheese with some butter & 5 tbsp icing sugar (or more if prefer sweeter) – again I manually “whipped” using fork. Spread mixture on top of cake – I normally use a folk to make patterns and deco with some finely chopped walnuts.

For those who enjoy carrot cake, do give this a try - I think it can give Cedele a close fight...

My weekend bakes


Oreo Oat Muffins (My daughter loves it)

Pumpkin Coconut Steam Muffins (Full of coconut fragrance)

Eatnonstop, :drool: :love:

hmm....pumpkin muffins, never try pumpkin in cake making b4 :?
how it tastes ?? sweet ?? will it \"mee mee\" or not ??

The recipe calls for coconut milk instead of fresh milk which makes the muffins smell much more frangrance. The sweetness come most from the pumpkin, though the recipe calls for 100g sugar, I reduced to 80g. You can adjust according to your sweetness :lol: Not \"mee mee\" at all, texture abit like Huat Kueh. Taste best when Hot

so it also somewhat tastes like huat kueh ??

btw, wanna to ask u, when a recipe calls for coconut milk, what type will u use ??
i found neither the powdered nor the tetra packed type
has the strong coconut aroma and taste.

hard to find fresh coconut milk nowadays.

Hi QuiteKSMum


Thks a lot for the recipe. Just 1 que, any tips on squeezing the juice out fr the grated carrots.

Augmum,

ok, thks.
1 Q, we need to squeeze the grated carrot till dry ??
liddat won't it be \"no taste\" ??

[QuiteKSMum]

Augmum,


No worries. Squeezed till q.dry but not totally dry... shd still have juice left. When u combine mixture together, if grated carrot too wet, the cake mixture might have too much \"moisture \", if u think mixture too dry, can then add in some of the extracted juice...agak agak 1st time to get an idea 1st...

Btw, re: coconut milk - I prefer the chilled type which can be found easily fm NTUC. Taste and smell wise definitely beat the tetra pack type...

Hi Steadyberry,


You're welcome. I just use my clean hands to squeeze out the juice. Just squeeze after all the carrots are grated, easier this way as the juice will \"come\" out again if you leave them aside too long. Hope it's clear to u... Happy Baking! :celebrate:
