I'm making a carrot cake for the first time. Has anyone got a recommendation for a really good perhaps slightly more luxurious recipe - it's going to be a birthday cake. So I'm not just making it to use up carrots. Iyswim.

I rather like this one but it’s quite a bit different from a normal carrot cake.

This is my go to- rave reviews from everyone who has tried it and definitely doesn't taste like you're just trying to use up a glut of carrots.

this is so delicious, very much a carrot cake but with a couple of middle eastern twists.

Have a look at Nigella Lawson's carrot, ginger and walnut cake. I couldn't stand carrot cake but this one was amazing and surprisingly sturdy for layering/decorating for a celebration cake

BBC Food carrot cake

I made this earlier in the year, it was amazing.
I didn't do the icing though, so can't vouch for that, I put on huge crunchy sugar crystals instead.

Carrot cake loaf recipe

This easy carrot loaf cake makes a great afternoon tea recipe. The nut-flecked loaf topped with orange cream frosting is a winning combination.
