My baking son wanted something different from the usual cakes the other day. I suggested carrot cake, but we did not have nuts. Knowing his mom, he improvised, and used crushed peanuts and instead of cream cheese topping, he used normal butter icing sugar frosting.(the boys don't like cream cheese)The end result was so tasty however, that I decided to share it.....his version....
You will need......
4 large eggs
1/2 cup of cooking oil
2 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
3 cups of grated carrots
1 cup of crushed peanuts
Mix everything and bake for 45 minutes at 180*C.
Leave to cool properly before adding frosting.
Mix frosting with butter, icing sugar and some vanilla and spread lightly on top.
