never appealed to me.\u00a0 I had over-shopped on the carrots and decided now was the time to step out of my pre-conceived ideas about carrots and cake.\u00a0 It did not disappoint.\u00a0 The cake is tasty, sweet (small slices for the waist line) and moist and actually it is very wholesome and satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>I have at last bought a food processor, and it has changed my life.\u00a0 Carrots are grated in a couple of seconds.\u00a0 Walnuts are crushed without crisis.\u00a0 And the whole cake is mixed with no effort.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you need to do<\/p>\n<p>Turn your ElectricKit Aga to read 180 degrees in the roasting oven<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>140g carrots, grated<\/p>\n<p>50g walnuts &#8211; crushed<\/p>\n<p>3 large eggs<\/p>\n<p>175g soft brown sugar<\/p>\n<p>180ml sunflower oil (or olive, or rapeseed)<\/p>\n<p>175g self raising flour<\/p>\n<p>A teaspoon of bicarbonate soda, a teaspoon of ground cinnamon<\/p>\n<p>100g raisins<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>200g cream cheese<\/p>\n<p>50g softened butter<\/p>\n<p>90g icing sugar<\/p>\n<p>walnut pieces for decoration<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>METHOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grate your carrots and crush your walnuts and set aside.\u00a0 Blend together your eggs, sugar, oil, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon and flour.\u00a0 Blend this to form a batter.\u00a0 Add the carrots and walnuts and raisins and pour it into a prepared cake tin (20cm)<\/p>\n<p>Bake for about 50 &#8211; 60 minutes &#8211;\u00a0 on the second set of runners down from the top of your roasting oven.\u00a0 Place to cold plain shelf beneath after 30 minutes of cooking to protect the base.\u00a0 Test with a stainless steel knife to check it has cooked through.\u00a0 Leave to cool.<\/p>\n<p>Place your cream cheese, butter and icing sugar in a bowl on the top of the Aga to soften.\u00a0 Mix all together and ice your carrot cake.\u00a0 DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"carrot cake, electricKit Aga Sweet, slightly healthy and will last a week
