Tip

This is a HUGE cake and is quite thick when initially blending. Use your spatula to hand mix to begin with then use it to assist until the batter runs by itself.

  • Mama Chie:...

    Submitted by Nicole Sampson on 13. January 2023 - 19:41.

    Mama Chie:
    The difference is because different ingredients have different weight (grams) per volume (teaspoons). So one teaspoon of something light like coconut will be lighter by volume than something denser like honey (for example). So a teaspoon of honey will weigh more than a teaspoon of coconut. Hope this helps.

    Beautiful cake. Just lovely. Reduced the batter sugar by half, next time i'll add a touch more. Baked two round cakes, around 40mins each.

    Icing: used the BCB recipe for "Carribian carrot cake" using the full sugar value.

    Made as per recipe. So delicious! I made 1x round about 24cm & a loaf tin. Put all the icing on the round cake with crumbled walnuts & froze the other. Will definitely make again. Thank you ☺️

    I can’t wait to make this, but, has anyone noticed the mistake in the amounts in brackets? Ie (1 tsp) etc They don’t make sense. 10g = 2 tsp, 7g = 2.5 tsp. Or did you mean 1.5 tsp? I tend to use my teaspoon when adding small amounts rather than the scales.

    This cake was amazing
    i made this cake using gluten free flour and reduced the sugar by about 150 gm and included sultanas as well. It turned our really good. But will definitely try this again using almond flour instead.

  • Great cake! as it is more

    Submitted by Baykay1984 on 9. January 2016 - 18:15.

    Great cake! as it is more like two cakes and contains two cakes worth of sugar, I don't see the issue, however I have made it with 160g of raw sugar and 30g of stevia which worked great. Slight sweetener flavour, but people who didn't know it was in there couldnt taste it, especially as the pineapple flavour covers it. Also great at a fondant decorated cake as it is quite structurally sound

    Delicious. So moist and yummy. I omitted the walnuts as I didn't have any. I used a combination of canola and rice bran oil as that's what I had. I made my own version of the frosting. My family said it was better than a cafe cake.

    Saxonwoman...it's cake...it's not intended to be healthy...but to solve your issue Don't Make It! I'm a bit annoyed that you have chosen to give this a 1 star rating when you never even baked it! Everyone else has stated how delicious thes cake is...and it is...unfortunately you will never experience it's sublime flavours. Even though there is a lot if sugar it makes a very large cake too!

    Great flavour and super moist.  Love this carrot cake.  It does make a lot. I made a loaf tin cake, square tin cake and 12 muffins with this mixture. I haven't made the icing yet.  We've devoured half the muffins already and they weren't iced. We like them plain.  Thanks for sharing.

  • This cake was beautiful,

    Submitted by Kim.Long on 10. February 2015 - 09:50.

    This cake was beautiful, everyone I shared with loved it.  It does make a huge cake so if baking in a large pan you will need to increase the cooking time to at least 60-70 mins. I also only added half the vanilla bean paste to the icing and added the juice of half a lemon for the extra tang.  Was delicious.

    Will make this one often.
