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.

Made this and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you.

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.

What a great carrot cake. Definitely my go to carrot now. I only made half the recipe and cooked it in a loaf pan. I too cut the sugar down by a 1/3.

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.

Hi this cake was delish the only thing was i thought i had enough oil but i ran out about 360mls so i added an extra egg, i aslo used mascarpone in the icing. I also didnt seperate it as i wanted to have a huge cake so i cook it longer. This was amazing cake thankyou for sharing xoxo =)

Thank you for sharing this recipe, the cake is so delicious. I made it to take to work for morning tea and everyone loved it. Will definitely be making it again.
i decided to make this cake
i decided to make this cake for my family tonight and it was a big hit. This would have to be my favourite cake recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it. Delicious!
Great cake! as it is more
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
Hi again excell80...how did
Hi again excell80...how did it defrost? Was it iced at the time? I find its just as good!
Hahaha Lisaloo1965...I missed
Hahaha Lisaloo1965...I missed this comment sorry! Yes, I love this cake so i try not to make it!!! LOL...yeah, the naysayer was annoying to say the least...bringing the star ratining down when she wasn't even going to make it, but hey! Obviously ppl are still making it!

I've just made this cake and it is delish!! As it made 2 cakes Ill be taking a cake into work with me on Tuesday! Thanks for the recipe- it's definitely a keeper
Delicious. So moist and
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
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
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.
460g of sugar!!! Woah!!
460g of sugar!!! Woah!! That's a massive amount! And another 310g for the icing. Come on guys - 770g of suagr in one cake is unbelievably unhealthy!!!
This cake was delicious. I
This cake was delicious. I used coconut oil and only 300g of sugar, next time I will drop to 250g. I baked in a large ring tin Thank you for sharing
This cake was beautiful,
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.
OMG this was a real hit and

I'm so glad to hear that wesnangwilson! I was really after a carrot cake that was like Sarah Lee's and thought this one might do the trick so I converted it. Unfortunately it's not like Sarah Lee but it's REAL good!

Made this for dinner tonight. Made about 3/4 of recipe because I had an open tin of crushed pineapple. Yum, very moist. Will definitely make again.
