Carrot Cake - a flour question

[rosybud]

My Carrot Cake recipes all use wholemeal flour, I only have normal (white) flour. Will it still be fine with that?
TIA

I only ever use plain white. I'm sure it'll be fine.

will be fine - I'm sure they always put wholemeal flour on carrot cake to further the scam that you are eating something healthy when you are, in fact, still eating cake

I've used both and I prefer it with white flour

Tommy you are probably right.

Obviously carrot (veg) and wholemeal (healthy) = nutritious.

Works for me

Tommy - it's funny isn't it, the addition of bit of grated carrot and sultana and it seems to cancel out the cakiness of it. Flapacks too, I always pretend these are good for me.

oh yes - flapjacks - just like porridge really

Mind you, after DS3 was born I was eating Cadubury Fruit & Nut like it was going out of fashion - claiming one of my 5 a day and protein. What more could you want?

I make a courgette cake... bread whatever.. its basically the same as a carrot cake.. little flecks of green instead of orange.. i just use whatever flour is in the house though, which is normally white.

could you post the carrot cake recipe please as ds would love to make one.
