I want to make carrot cake tonight, for the first time! I found some recipies on the net. Has anyone made this before? coz im not sure i should oil or butter.
In other cakes i allways use butter.
mouthwatering!!!
Yes I;ve made carrot cake before. I have a really awesome recipe from my sister who used to make it for a restaurant. When I get a minute maybe I can post it up if you want it. Make sure you make some cream chesse frosting for it too! So yummy!
You know whats funny though??!! I just bought some ingredients for a carrot cake as well. So odd that you happen to want to make it too. Maybe carrot cake is in the air!
hahaha thats would be really nice! I allways have sweet craving during fasting :D
Hey do u use oil or butter?
yes for sure always craving sweets when fasting or talking food. some of us just have lots to cook. Today I am making butter chicken. I haven't made that in years!!!
Anyhow for my cake I use oil.
For butter I use that in the cream cheese icing.

Re: Carrot cake
Ok this is going to need a bit of work. Reason being that this recipe is t obe baked in a microwave, but I like to stay away from microwaves so I switched to baking it because of which the baking time is something you have to figure out urself :D I usually bake mine for around 50-55 minutes, just keep going till the toothpick comes out clean.
1.25 cups of sugar
1 cup cooking oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
1.5 cups self raising powder or 1.5 cups all purpose flour +3/4 tsp salt+1.5 tsp baking soda
2.5 tsp cinnamon powder
2.25 cups grated raw carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
In large bowl blend the sugar, oil, vanilla. Add eggs and beat well.
Mix the dry ingredients (except carrots and walnuts) together and add to the sugar mixture. Mix in. Now fold in carrots and walnuts. Bake in a greased 12x8 dish at 375 degrees for 50-55 mins.
