    Very forgiving recipe, I didn't have the right quantities of a few ingredients and it still worked well. I used 150g sugar, 200g almond meal, and 180g flour.

    Fabulous cake, made a number of times with cream cheese frosting. Just ensure carrots are chopped up finely.

    Really good, rose well and looked and tasted great. We added cream cheese icing. Would be easy to make gluten free by substituting GF flour for the 80g flour.

    Delicious.

    We used it in a special tin to make the number 5 for a birthday. It held perfectly well, it was moist and a real success. Highly recommended! tmrc_emoticons.)

  • So simple & yummy. Made it

    Submitted by lu and thermo on 31. July 2016 - 17:38.

    So simple & yummy. Made it for a weekend away & everyone loved this moist cake, even gluten eaters. I used 110g coconut sugar & 70g white sugar, total 180g, used quirky Jo's GF Flour mix,  added teaspoon of vanilla bean paste & some chopped chunks of dark choc to mix at the end. DIdn't have pine nuts so used macadamia's instead. Thanks for a great recipe.

    Sooooo yummy! I added 180g of honey instead of the sugar and didn't add the 80g of flour (because I forgot) and it turned out so yummy. I sprinkled the top with chai seed

    Lovely cake

    This is a lovely cake, used coconut sugar, so it almost has a golden syrup flavour. Really nice and moist. Will cut back on the sugar a bit next time.

  • Delicious! I used dextrose

    Submitted by leabdea on 27. July 2014 - 11:27.

    Delicious! I used dextrose instead of the caster sugar to make fructose friendly, brown rice flour and a bit of tapioca flour instead of wheat flour to make gluten free, and chopped macadamia nuts instead of the pine nuts because that's what I had in the cupboard. 

    This will be a regular cake in our house because it's so easy and tasty.

    Deliciously healthy cake. This is going to be my No.1 cake, made by reducing sugar to 200gm, still very tasty.
