Carrot cake is one that I personally have never liked, the thing is that my family LOVES it.  I have 2 recipes that I make, one of our children likes a basic carrot cake with not too many 'bits' in it & everyone else loves a more full carrot cake.  

Today I'm going to share with you the recipe with the 'more' in it.  I do love making this because I love the expression on their faces when they eat it, it's absolute bliss.  

CARROT CAKE

YOU WILL NEED

300g Self Raising Lupin Flour

3t cinnamon

½ t bi-carb soda

Zest from 1 orange

Zest from 1 lemon

250g finely grated carrots

100g chopped walnuts

50g chopped pecans

250g diced pineapple

1 Tablespoon of pineapple juice

NOW WHIP IT UP

Preheat oven to 150 ° (fan forced)

Sift dry ingredients & stir in sugar, make a well in the centre

Beat eggs with oil & zests, add pineapple juice

Stir carrots into wet mix

Fold wet into dry ingredients

Fold in nuts & pineapple

Cook for approx. 1hr 20 mins, until a skewer inserted comes out clean

The family love to have a bit of icing on this cake, so I make up a cashew buttercream icing.
