    chicaloca: Sorry, just saw your question now - either will be fine - I generally use the MC, but the basket will be fine also.

    So yum! I used coconut oil instead of veggie oil and replaced the walnuts with sultanas. Kids and husband loved them.

    Beautiful cake, I made it as muffins and it is a large mix that makes lots.  I found that it took a lot longer than 20 seconds at the end to mix everything together.  The icing is easy and great too!

    really yummy! couldn't wait to make the cake version as the muffins were a hit. I milled my orange peel for up to 10 seconds speed 7 after the carrot and ginger stage then added the zest to carrot mix.
