    Yes. This one's good. :drool:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I agree, that's the one I have used and it is lovely and moist and very easy to make.
  • Thanks all! I went with zippychick's recommendation as she was the first to post and I was in the middle of my sainsbo online order. I'll try the Rachel Allen one first, and work my way through. The BBC Good Food one does look good but I wanted a recipe with proper icing (I know I could have 'mixed and matched'), plus philly cream cheese is on bogoff at sainsbo... :)
    :D**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

    bless ya! I know, i was checking out all the links last night thinking "hmmmm, do i try make another one, or stick with what i know"! I mean if it's not broke , don't try fix it , right?!

    I put some crushed chocolate buttons or cadburys twirl etc on top . It is rich enough, but I'm a glutton for punishment and i think it just tops it off !

    Let me know how you get on :) :j

    I've used this one from Gordon Ramsay: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/recipes/article2583745.ece

    The cake itself is delicious but I don't use the orange topping. I just do an ordinary 'philly-style' cheese topping as that's what we like.

    There are some lovely looking recipes on this thread so I'll add it to the main carrot cake recipe thread to keep the replies together.

  • Hey! I haven't made it yet, the carrots were delivered this evening as part of my sainsbo order, along with the philly for the topping, I would have made it but I had to make a leek and potato gratin

    to use up some very sad leeks (I'm getting much better at this not chucking food away! And I also need to learn how to do the hyperlink blue thingy so I don't have to post the whole link) so I'm going to try and make it tomorrow :)
