Carrots anyone?

Hi there

On winter days I like to finish the day with something yummy and sweet. Lately Ive been loving carrot cake with cream cheese icing and a side of yogurt. I thought Id share a recipe for my favourite carrot cake. Ive changed it a bit and made it a bit different so it may not be a carrot cake like you have seen. But try it and taste the difference.

Ingredients

3 cups of wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup corn oil
4 eggs lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 cups dessicated coconut
1 cup of chopped walnut
1 1/2 cup cooked mashed carrot
1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. add oil, eggs and vanilla and beat well. Then add all other ingredients.

Pour into a greased and lined cake pan. Bake for 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Use the cream cheese icing Ive included in a past blog to ice it when its cool..yum
