Cook time: 50 Minute(s)

Difficulty: Easy




Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS:

- 225g self raising flour
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (level the teaspoons)
- 150g light brown sugar
- 150ml sunflower oil
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 120g grated carrots
- 70g chopped walnuts
- 2tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp grated or ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- (a handful of dark chocolate bits or raisins - optional)



For the topping:

- 200g full fat soft cheese
- 50g very softened butter
- 50g sifted icing sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- chopped walnuts for decoration
   Preparation:

- Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4/356F . Grease a 20cm/8inch deep round cake tin and line the base with baking parchment.

- Chop the walnuts coarsely.

- Grate the carrots coarsely too.

- Mash two ripe bananas with a fork.

- Measure all the ingredients in a big bowl and gently mix them together. Be sure, not to over mix.

- Turn the batter into the prepared tin and level the surface.

- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake is well risen and shrinking away from the sides of the tin.

- When the carrot cake is baked leave it in the tin for a few minutes, then turn it out and finish cooling on a wire rack.

- For the topping: Put 50g of butter in a warm place to get it really soft. Measure all the ingredients into a bowl (except walnuts) and give them a good stir with a fork. You can also use food processor. Mix until soft and smooth.

- Spread the mixture with a spatula or a knife over the top of the cake. Decorate the top with chopped walnuts.

- Chill for a few minutes before serving, and store in the fridge as the topping is soft.
