INGREDIENTS
-
2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
-
1 cup sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil or sunflower oil
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or raisins
-
Icing sugar, grated carrot and flaked almonds for topping
-
Supa Mama® Baking Paper
METHOD
-
Prepare the Oven & Tin: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a round cake tin with Supa Mama® Baking Paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and oil until smooth and well combined.
-
Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
-
Fold in the Carrots: Stir in the grated carrots (and optional chopped nuts or raisins if you like) until evenly distributed through the batter.
-
Bake: Pour the mixture into the lined cake tin and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
-
Cool & Serve: Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift out with the Baking Paper and transfer to a wire rack. Dust lightly with icing sugar and sprinkle with grated carrot and flaked almonds for a simple finish.
