QUICK MIX CARROT CAKE

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grated carrot
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut OR 1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup sultanas
2 cups SR Flour
1 tsp mixed spice

Method

1. Mix everything in a bowl until combined & pour into pan.
2. Cook in Moderate Slow Oven for 50 minutes.
3. Leave for 10 mins to stand & then turn out on cooling rack.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
90g Cream Cheese
1 cup icing sugar
90g butter

Cream all together

CARAMEL ICING
60g butter
2 tablespoon Milk
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup icing sugar

Melt butter in saucepan, add brown sugar & milk.
Bring to boil & stir for 2 minutes.
Leave to cool for a few minutes & stir in icing sugar.

Megs's Notes:
I use a 23cm square pan for this recipe.
Moderate Slow Oven = 160C / 325F
Cream Cheese Frosting is a MUST HAVE for Carrot Cakes.
The Caramel Icing is perfect for Banana Cakes, but thought I'd throw it in here.
