A traditional carrot cake recipe wouldn’t have a lot of sugar, but modern recipes have added it more and more. Adding honey and vanilla extract, combined with everything else, is an amazing taste and very sweet.
We make sure to use good quality, free range eggs with this recipe. This makes sure that they are nutritious and delicious, making this a more healthy recipe, but also the cake has a really good hold when it’s baked.
Grated organic carrots melt and soften really well when baked. The cake ends up bulky, moist and very tasty.When choosing the carrot cake recipe icing, we decided to keep it simple with cream cheese frosting. It’s a classic combination, and adds a lovely fresh taste to the rich cake.
To keep the cream cheese frosting sugar free but sweet, we add honey, and some vanilla extract.
Orange zest tops off the cream cheese frosting with a subtle, fresh and juicy flavour. We’re sure you’ll love it just as much as we do.
Once the cakes have cooled, be generous with the frosting! The combination of creamy frosting with the rich two layer carrot cake is beautiful.
