YUM! this recipe is amazing! It was super easy and the icing was delish & the perfect amount for the size of cake 👌
I used coconut oil as my oil of choice & it worked perfect. Will be a staple in my household.

This IS the best carrot & walnut cake ever.
I used 100g walnuts.
Had no golden syrup, so used pure maple syrup instead.
Cooked for 10min less, as I used a larger square pan.
I whipped some philadelphia caramilk and used that as icing.
Will definitely make again.

This really is the best ever carrot and walnut cake. I have made this a few times and always comes out great. I even made one for my doctor and she loved it as well. I don't worry about doing icing because i like to freeze some which lasts over three months.

A great recipe! I reduced both the sugar and golden syrup by half and replaced the walnuts with sultanas so it was nut-free for school lunches, and it turned out perfectly (although it is not very sweet as I'd intended). The whole family enjoyed 👍

This carrot cake is absolutely beautiful. I made one 8 inch cake and 12 cupcakes. The recipe needs to be adjusted though as the golden syrup and brown sugar quantities are far too much, I only put 80g of golden syrup and 150g of brown sugar and found that it was plenty sweet enough.
Yum! Super easy & super tasty. Makes a huge cake.

My kids hate walnuts so I left them out, and to cut down on their sugar intake I didn't put any icing on.. but they still got the tick of approval!

Perfect recipe. I have made it Gluten free a few times by subbing the normal flours for GF ones and adding a teaspoon of Xanthan gum and it has turned out perfect everytime. I also make it into cupcakes for my kids lunchboxes and they are devoured everytime.

Absolutely delish! And a decent size.

I love that this cake has 500g of carrot!
Not too sweet with the full amount of sugar, (but I am in the desert at the moment, so no access to buy icing ingredients). I think a cream cheese topping would be divine.
I’m also wondering how it might go next time, substituting some of the oil for pineapple juice, or even crushed pineapple 🤔.
Drooling....
‘super soft and plenty of moisture in this cake’
Thanks for sharing your recipe 😋
(I had to substitute almonds for walnuts and crushed them first. Worked out fine)

Delicious my go to recipe for carrot cake.
Made this for morning tea at school today and this cake was devoured by all in seconds.
The cake came out really high in my 23cm tin and looked like something you'd buy in a bakery or that's served in a cafe. It was delicious and I was lucky to have got myself a slice. A definite winner and will be making again and again. It was nice and moist and the sweetness was perfect even with the icing. I added about 60g of butter spread to the icing as well. Just perfect thank you.
