    great cake but I will use a smaller tin next time .. 25cm tin makes the cake less than 4cm tall .. bit too flat

    Super yum! Very well received as a birthday cake. On top of the icing I decorated it with dried flower petals.
    Did some alterations:
    3 eggs
    175g raw sugar
    1tsp mixed spice
    1tsp cinnamon
    220g flour
    drained pineapple pieces
    used Rice Bran oil instead of olive oil

    For the icing:
    250g cream cheese
    Mill 4tsp raw sugar, with the rind of one lemon
    Juice of 1/2 a lemon
    Finished off with the butterfly on Sp 4 to get a slightly whipped consistency

    It definitely is the best carrot cake ever. Added extra egg as per comments. Not to sweet at all. Wonderfully moist and super easy to make.

    Great recipe and it works for TM5. I just reduced the sugar to 100g and slightly reduced the carrot and add one more egg. I baked only for 45 mins at 180 degrees. For icing I increase the cream cheese and reduce the sugar by half and double the cream cheese and added lemon zest. It's perfect!
