Tip
This is a HUGE cake and is quite thick when initially blending. Use your spatula to hand mix to begin with then use it to assist until the batter runs by itself.

I L O V E this cake. The best carrot cake ever!! Because it is such a huge cake, can you freeze it?
Made this and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you.
Mama Chie:
The difference is because different ingredients have different weight (grams) per volume (teaspoons). So one teaspoon of something light like coconut will be lighter by volume than something denser like honey (for example). So a teaspoon of honey will weigh more than a teaspoon of coconut. Hope this helps.
What a great carrot cake. Definitely my go to carrot now. I only made half the recipe and cooked it in a loaf pan. I too cut the sugar down by a 1/3.
Beautiful cake. Just lovely. Reduced the batter sugar by half, next time i'll add a touch more. Baked two round cakes, around 40mins each.
Icing: used the BCB recipe for "Carribian carrot cake" using the full sugar value.
Made as per recipe. So delicious! I made 1x round about 24cm & a loaf tin. Put all the icing on the round cake with crumbled walnuts & froze the other. Will definitely make again. Thank you ☺️
I can’t wait to make this, but, has anyone noticed the mistake in the amounts in brackets? Ie (1 tsp) etc They don’t make sense. 10g = 2 tsp, 7g = 2.5 tsp. Or did you mean 1.5 tsp? I tend to use my teaspoon when adding small amounts rather than the scales.
This cake was amazing
i made this cake using gluten free flour and reduced the sugar by about 150 gm and included sultanas as well. It turned our really good. But will definitely try this again using almond flour instead.
Hi this cake was delish the only thing was i thought i had enough oil but i ran out about 360mls so i added an extra egg, i aslo used mascarpone in the icing. I also didnt seperate it as i wanted to have a huge cake so i cook it longer. This was amazing cake thankyou for sharing xoxo =)
Fabulous!
