Lovely cake. Moist and tasty. I only used half the sugar suggested and it still turned out well. I added orange extract to the buttercream. It was all delicious. I've made a few carrot cakes in my time and this was the best.

I use a similar recipe to this, and make a variation - instead of cinnamon, nutmeg & ground cloves, I use 3 tsp of mixed spice and add a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, I also use raw sugar instead of brown sugar, try - it comes out beautiful

Just wondering how long does the carrot cake store for without the icing on top?CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, this should keep well un-iced for 5 days in an airtight container in a cool place :)

Just had a staff morning tea, this cake is delicious! Found it only needed cooking for 1 hour, not the full time indicated. Enjoy!!

This is such a good recipe! I made it last night. It was my mother-in-law's birthday. She is staying with us in Melbourne due to COVID-19 lockdown. I wanted to surprise her by presenting her the cake at mid-night. My four year old was very excited and did most of the work (I let her stay up late!). We put the carrots (around 7) and half a cup of walnuts in food processor to begin and used mixed spice suggested by another reviewer here. I had a chunk of brown sugar in the refrigerator which was frozen solid and not soft at all. So, I hit it up with the oil and added a bit of normal sugar as well in the mix. Also, halfway though, I realised we didn't have any eggs! I couldn't just go and get some because there is a curfew in Melbourne at the moment (9pm-5am every night). I used a cup of marshmallows instead! And fortunately it all worked out and it was the best cake I have ever tasted!CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, that's great to hear! So pleased it turned out well for you :-)

This is the best carrot cake that I have ever made. I think the vegetable oil made such a difference. It was moist and evenly cooked. This was also done in just under 60 mins so you may want to check it whilst in the oven. I added ornage extract to the topping and added toasted pecan nuts, it was delicious.

Method
Mix brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and vanilla essence into a large bowl. Add beaten eggs. Fold in flour and baking soda. Lastly, fold in grated carrots one cup at a time until all the carrots are in the mixture. Pour mixture into a well greased baking paper, lined 23cm round cake tin. Bake at 180°C for 1 hour and 15 mins or until skewer comes out clean.
Cream Cheese Icing : Beat all ingredients together and spread over top of cake.
