Description

Make a moist, spiced carrot cake using your Thermomix, topped with a rich, tangy cream cheese frosting. This recipe keeps family traditions simple and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150g sunflower oil or canola oil
  • 170g soft brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 170g self-raising flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.75 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 150g grated carrots
  • For the Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 250g cream cheese, softened (brick-shaped, not spreadable)
  • 320g icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C fan / 170°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the sunflower oil, brown sugar, and eggs into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds at speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bicarbonate of soda. Mix for 10 seconds at speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for another 5 seconds at speed 5.
  4. Add the grated carrots and mix for 5 seconds using the reverse setting at speed 5 until the carrots are evenly combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared cake tin. Level the top with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes. The cake is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the cake and cool it completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  8. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter and softened cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is creamy.
  9. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake.

Notes

  • Grate the carrots using a standard box grater for the best texture in this cake.
  • When making the frosting, use brick-shaped cream cheese, not the soft, spreadable kind, for a firm icing.
