Growing up with 'Donald Duck' comics, I was always intriqued by the carrot cake he likes to bake for his 3 nephews. Does it sound familiar? Well, in my case I have finally made it myself and tried it just recently, and have made that at least 3 times already.
This recipe is actually taken from the recipe book I copied a long time ago from an American friend. Thus, I believe this must be similar to uncle Donald's original recipe!
The recipe calls for :
Dried ingredients:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
11/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp nutmeg powder
1/2 tsp clove powder
1/2 tsp salt
wet ingredients:
1 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 c shredded carrot
1 c raisins
1 c nuts (optional)
Method:
1. Mix the dried and wet ingredients. Stir well, pour the mix into a greased and powdered cake tin with a hole in the middle.
2. Oven at 150°C for 45 mins until it's no longer mushy, but don't bake more than 45 mins because it can quickly dried up and lose its moistness.
