Mairead1976: You can freeze the cake but not the icing
Amanda
Can you freeze this cake without the frosting? Would love to make in advance. Thanks
Sue in the bay: I've wondered that too. I think you could safely use walnuts in the mix. Usually I buy a 140g bag and put half in the cake mix and the other half on top of the icing.
Sue in the bay: do you think that's because of the carrot ? I too have wondered

I love this recipe and make it quite often.Everytime I cook it, I wonder about the nuts in the method. Are there nuts in the cake mix?
This was delicious, everyone at work woofed it down. It was cooked to perfection in a square tin that was lined with baking paper. Definitely one that will be frequently made.
StellaSwan: you've most likely worked out by now that is a different quantity of pineapple? For those that find it too gooey choose a larger tin. I always drain the pineapple the night before. My tin is 20cm X 20cm at 10cm high. This is a touch on the small side so I adjust the cooking time by 10 minutes extra. My best success is with 23cm square as it's a better size for this rich dense cake. Also for those wanting to cook it in a Bundt tin it cooks well but will not sit flat so i 3/4 fill mine and fill my muffin tray with what's left, I get 6 large muffins. I'm using fan forced and always preheat it very well. Happy mixin

Absolutely delicious 😋😍 thank you 🤗
Very yummy cake. Remember to chop 100g of walnuts and set aside before the carrots. Add back when mixing everything together. Apart from that added everything as stated. All of my work friends loved it👍
