Steps to make Carrot Cake:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/Fan 160/Gas 4. - Grease & line two 20cm sandwich tins with baking paper. - Put the sugar into a mixing bowl, pour in the oil & add the eggs. Mix together lightly then stir in the carrots & raisins. - Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda & spices then sift into the bowl. Mix together gently until all the ingredients are incorporated. The mixture should be quite soft & runny.
- Divide the mixture between the prepared tins & bake for 40-45 minutes. To check insert a skewer or tip of a knife, if it comes out clean it's done. The cake should also feel firm & springy to touch. - Allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes in their tins then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the icing beat together the butter & cream cheese then carefully mix in the icing sugar. I mix in about 1/3 at a time as it can get messy! - Place one of the cakes on a serving plate & spread with half of the icing. - Take the other cake & carefully place it on top then spread over the rest of the icing. - Decorate with walnut halves if you wish.
