Carrot Cake

What you need to add:  

140g Unsalted Butter

2 Large Eggs

2 Medium Carrots

1 tsp of Vanilla Essence

How to make our delicious Carrot Cake 

• Take your Eggs out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature
• Preheat oven to 175°C and coat your 8inch round cake tin with butter or cooking spray and line with non-stick baking paper. You can use a different size tin, scan the QR to see baking times
• Melt butter in a microwave safe dish in 30 second burst until it is just melted, stir well between bursts. You want it to be just melted, not hot and bubbling! 
• Peel your carrots (don’t skip this step they need to be peeled) and then grate both carrots with your grater
• Add your Bake It Carrot Cake baking mix, eggs, melted butter, grated carrot and vanilla into a bowl. Mix well with a spatula or spoon for about 1 minute until all ingredients are combined and no dry ingredients are left, then pour into your prepped tray.
• Bake for 30 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven or until baked through. You know it is cooked when you press on the top of the cake, and it springs back up but just watch you don’t burn your fingers. I find the spring test the best way to test if your cake is ready
• Leave for at least 8-10 minutes to cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a cooling rack, if you try to move it right away it will likely break. Let your Carrot Cake cool completely before icing otherwise the icing will melt off
• *If you want to make these into cupcakes simply scan the qr code on the packaging for instructions
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container, if you are using the cream cheese icing this needs to be stored in the fridge. Simply take out the piece you want to eat and let it come to room temperature before eating for the best flavour. Otherwise, you can store it in the fridge and eat within a week for best taste. The carrot cake and icing can also be frozen separately.
