Thanks Gal

I will try it too, I LOVE baking

4 extra-large eggs
310ml white sugar
250ml sunflower oil
500ml cake flour
10ml bicarbonate of soda
10ml ground cinnamon
5ml ground ginger
5ml ground mixed spice
5ml salt
3 x 250ml peeled and grated raw carrots
440g tin crushed pineapple, drained
100g pecan nuts, chopped

cream cheese icing
80g butter
125g thick cream cheese
5ml vanilla essence (or half the amount of real vanilla extract) 500ml icing sugar, sifted 10ml very finely grated orange or lemon zest (optional)

For the cake, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Beat in the oil. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground spices and salt, and stir into the egg mixture. Mix in the grated carrot, drained pineapple and chopped pecan nuts. Spoon the mixture into a greased 23cm ring pan or two loaf tins (22 x 12cm) and bake in a pre-heated oven at 160°C for 50 – 60 minutes.

For the icing, cream the butter and cream cheese (this is easier if you’ve left them out to soften while making the cake). Add the vanilla and zest, then mix in the icing sugar to make a thick, fluffy icing. Spread over the cooled cake.



Just got this from a friend, thought I'd share!! yummmmmmmmm
