Apparently my DH misses carrot cake so I thought I would bake one. Does anyone have a good recipe please?

I often make these:

anitalianinmykitchen.com/carrot-cake-muffins/

Works as muffins or a 2lb loaf.

Ringmaster27 · 27/07/2022 18:35

It’s my favourite!
This is the best recipe I’ve tried.

I swear by this one. I don't use the walnuts and it's gorgeous every time. It's easy to do as a dairy free version for anyone with lactose intolerance too.

Does carrot cake have to have oil..?
I looked everywhere for a recipe without oil then just subbed butter. The flavour was lovely but the texture was very dense…

I make this one frequently and it's easy.

Betty Crocker carrot cake with cream cheese icing! Life's too short 😁

This is my most requested bake. I don't bother with the icing

The hummingbird bakery one is amazing

Oil makes it moist and light and what makes carrot cake awesome. Carrot cake is the best btw

Maggiethecat · 27/07/2022 23:22

Not for a while but revisited courgette cake today. Recipe needs adjusting - not sweet enough and a bit dense. Otherwise, handy to use up excess courgettes.

I make Janes patisserie's carrot loaf cake regularly. It's a good one and fail safe.

I agree that this one is yummy, made it for my sons 3rd birthday for nursery the teachers liked it so much they requested it again this year for his 4th!

minipie · 31/07/2022 20:53

Yes to the Nigel Slater one! I am not a great baker but followed that recipe and it turned out beautifully. DH still talks about it wistfully.

PattyDuke · 07/08/2022 13:45

Thank you for all the great ideas. I made the Nigel Slater recipe in the end. Highly recommended for both looks and taste.

Came to suggest this recipe too. It freezes well! I cut the slab in half and freeze. ☺️
