How to make carrot cake:
You will need:
Ingredients:
- 150g light brown sugar
- 150ml vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 150g self raising flour, sifted
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 250g carrots, peeled and grated
- 100g raisins
- 100g Rachel’s low fat vanilla yogurt
Frosting:
- 200g soft cheese
- 75g icing sugar
- 70g Rachel’s low fat vanilla yogurt
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 18cm/7inch round loose bottom tin.
- Using a mixer with a balloon whisk, whisk the sugar with the vegetable oil and then gradually add in the eggs.
- Fold in the flour, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda. Add the carrots, raisins and yogurt and mix thoroughly.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40 – 50 minutes until firm to touch. Insert a skewer into the centre of the cake and if it comes out clean the cake is cooked. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- To make the frosting, beat the soft cheese with the icing sugar and yogurt until smooth.
- Decorate the cake with the frosting using a knife or the back of a spoon and spread to the sides. Transfer to a serving plate and slice.
