Carrot cake! :)



For the longest time I had wanted to make a carrot cake.And last weekend, I finally got around to making it. It came out soft and moist and total yummy! I referred to the recipe on the bbc good food website.But for the topping I have just used thickened milk flavoured with vanilla. So here goes the recipe.

Ingredients
3 cups plain flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 cups castor sugar
4 eggs
250ml oil
2cups carrots grated
1 cup pineapple pieces chopped

for the frosting
50g icing sugar
2 cups milk
a little vanilla

Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon together with the sugar. Add oil and beat in the eggs. Fold in the carrots and pineapples and pour into a lightly greased dish . Bake in a preheated oven at 180c till a needle inserted into the cake comes off clean.It was heaven in a bite! :)
