Lovely cake. Moist and tasty. I only used half the sugar suggested and it still turned out well. I added orange extract to the buttercream. It was all delicious. I've made a few carrot cakes in my time and this was the best.

I use a similar recipe to this, and make a variation - instead of cinnamon, nutmeg & ground cloves, I use 3 tsp of mixed spice and add a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, I also use raw sugar instead of brown sugar, try - it comes out beautiful

Just wondering how long does the carrot cake store for without the icing on top?CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, this should keep well un-iced for 5 days in an airtight container in a cool place :)

Just had a staff morning tea, this cake is delicious! Found it only needed cooking for 1 hour, not the full time indicated. Enjoy!!
Mix brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and vanilla essence into a large bowl. Add beaten eggs. Fold in flour and baking soda. Lastly, fold in grated carrots one cup at a time until all the carrots are in the mixture. Pour mixture into a well greased baking paper, lined 23cm round cake tin. Bake at 180°C for 1 hour and 15 mins or until skewer comes out clean.
Cream Cheese Icing : Beat all ingredients together and spread over top of cake.
