Mike's Quick Carrot Cake
Ingredients
Corn or other vegetable oil 6 fl oz
Brown sugar or alternative 3 oz
Eggs 2
Wholemeal flour 4 oz
Carrots, cleaned 8 oz
Sodium bicarbonate 1 heaped tsp
Optional
Lemon, orange or lime zest and juice 1 fruit
Dried fruit To taste
Nuts To taste
Allspice and/or nutmeg and/or cinnamon 1 tsp
Method
Put eggs (don’t bother to beat), oil and sugar into mixer or food processor, and whiz for a few seconds. Grate or shred carrots – you can also use a juicer if you add both the juice and pulp.
Add other ingredients except sod bicarb, fruit and nuts, and mix thoroughly.
Add bicarb and mix
Add fruit and nuts, and whiz for a second or so, Mixture should have the consistency of mayonnaise.
Put into loose-bottomed cake tin. Don’t bother greasing it – it does not make the slightest difference.
Bake for 1 hour at 200 degrees Celsius.
You can actually mix all this by hand, if you prepare the carrots earlier – we have cooked one on a camping trip, in a folding oven on a petrol stove, without any problem!
