- CJ's Simple Carrot Cake
- -----------------------
-
- John Morris's cooking segment was missing from ABC Radio's "Queensland
- Sunday" programme this week because he was crook. Chris Jensen, now at
- the ABC station in Toowoomba but former presenter of "Qld Sunday" from
- Rockhampton, was called in at short notice to supply a recipe for the
- masses. Here it is ("Very simple carrot cake" according to CJ):
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 3/4 C raw sugar
- 1 1/2 C wholemeal self-raising flour
- 1 1/2 C grated carrot
- EITHER 3/4 C Canola oil and 2 eggs
- OR 1/2 C Canola oil and 3 eggs
- (Make your choice based on your personal health credo :)
- "Lots" of mixed spice - CJ uses whole of "small packet" of Harper's (15 g??)
- Chopped pecans or walnuts ("Pecans are better") - quantity not specified
- Option: Add some floured raisins too.
-
-
- Method:
-
- Mix all of the above in a bowl then dump in a prepared baking tin.
- Bake in oven at 350 F/180 C until cooked (time not specified :-(
-
- Hint: When cooked, turn oven off and let the cake cool until it is
- cool enough to handle without oven mitts, then wrap cake and tin in
- gladwrap and set it aside until cool enough to apply icing (assuming
- you want to, otherwise I assume you just let it cool right down while
- wrapped, before eating or storing). This makes for a nice moist cake.
-
- Cheers, Ian S.
