Here's my carrot cake, Ive been baking this for yrs! I used to make it for the officer's when I served in the Army

Carrot Cake
2 eggs
1/2 tea spoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tea spoon bicarb soda
2 medium carrots, peeled 7 roughly chopped
185g butter/marg (i use vitalite) - melted
3/4 sugar (white or brown can be used)
1 cup of s.r flour (can us wholemeal also, works better with brown sugar)
1 cup of sultana's (optional)
or if you want to add walnuts, then add 1/2 cup & half cup of sultana's.

in the Food processor place the eggs, soda, cinnamon & carrots, whizz until a thick liquid is formed
add the melted butter & sugar
whizz
add flour, (fruit & nuts if your adding them)
whizz untill combined

place into a loaf size tin (i use 2 x 1lb loaf tins)

bake in moderate oven (gas mark 3) sorry, dont know number for electric, for about 50mins, or until cooked in the middle, by checking with a skewer.

You can use a butter creamed icing for the top, but the cake never lasts long for me to do this!

Hi all, im in the middle of weighing out all my ingredients to make Delias posh ultimate carrot cake with marscapone, fromage frais and cinnamon icing, the recipe states i need 150ml of sunflower oil, and i could have sworn i bought some, opened my cupboards and i have 3 bottles of vegetable oil!!!:mad:

Anyone now if it will make a difference? I am making it for some friends and need to take it to them today, i put it off yesterday and wont get another chance for a while!

Will it taste yuk???

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Regards
Feisty! (baking novice):o

you wouldn't want to substitute cold pressed olive oil or anything with a strong taste
but with ordinary veg oil instead it'll be fine, won't make a blind bit of difference with all the other flavourings in there

I'm sure it'll be delicious

Ditto the above two posts. :T

You can't buy all types of oil just incase so vegetable covers about most things. :cool:

I was told by my old cooking teacher to use vegetable oil instead as she said it has less taste, dont no if its true bit its always worked for me, the cake your maikng look delicious, I keep looking at it in the book but ive never got round to making it. Your friends are very lucky.
