I've lost my favourite carrot cake recipe

[FGSdontblameme]

I'm sure it was on a BBC site called Dig It, for allotment holders.
It had orange zest, walnuts, veg oil and a simple cream cheese and vanilla topping in a big round cake without a filling. Was sublime.
Can anyone recommend a good recipe?

Is this the carrot cake recipe you are after?

Quite close, but not it .Thanks anyway.

Any good?

This may not be it but it is the best carrot cake recipe ever, I have won prizes in the village cake competition with this cake. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2005/apr/17/foodanddrink.recipes

Thanks

Nigel's cake looks amazing, orange or vanilla frosting?

I make orange and it is delicious, not over powering but it complements the cake nicely.

I have our family's definitive recipe. When my DGS was christened, I made a two tier cake, one of which was carrot. I road tested lots of recipes, and tweaked some. This is the one that ended up favourite, though I didn't sort out any frosting :)

200 gm self raising flour
115 gm plain flour
350 gm brown sugar
2 tsps cinnamon
2 tsps bicarbonate of soda
250 ml vegetable oil
3 large carrots, peeled and grated
4 eggs, medium
100 gm raisins
140 gm chopped hazelnuts ( 100 gm chopped/ 40 gm fine ground)
zest of 1 orange

Mix all dry ingredients
Mix in carrot and gradually beat in oil and eggs.
Pour into a 20 cm square cake tin
Bake at 180º C/160º fan /gas mark 4 for 45-55 minutes

Reporting back.
So I made the book family recipe cake with MrsPs orange and Marscapone topping and it is a thing of wonder. Just perfect.
Thanks so much.

So glad you liked it! :)
