Dairy free, egg free Carrot Cake
Today was my last day volunteering with the Express Group charity. I'm moving on too 2 days work experience in SAMH Pantry, and don't feel I can give the same level of commitment. I'll still be popping in to see them and bringing them baked goodies to taste test for me though. There favourite recipe was my dairy free carrot cake.
Dairy free/egg free Carrot Cake
6 oz Self Rising Flour
3 oz Caster Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Mixed Spice
2-3 large carrots - grated
3 oz Raisins
60 ml Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Cider Vinegar
250 ml water
Pre-heat oven too 180 Celsius, prepared a greased or lined baking tin.
Add Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt & spices to a bowl.
In a jug measure out water, veg oil and cider Vinegar.
Mix grated carrots into the rest of the ingredients in the jug.
Pour into dry ingredients and mix well by with an electric hand mixer for 1 - 2 min's. Finally fold in the Raisins, then pour mix into your prepared tin.
Bake in oven for 40-50 minutes.
Can be made as Cup cakes, bake for 20 - 30 Min's.
Check with a toothpick, it will come out of the cake clean if it is fully baked.
Leave in tin for 5-10 Min's before transferring to a wire cooling rack, covered in a clean tea towel.
(This stops the wire rack leaving any impression on the cake)
This is another great budget baking recipe. It also works great as a base recipe, home baking is about customising recipes to your own personal taste's.
You could also try the following variations
- Use Parsnips instead of carrots and also add 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract.
- Or try a combination of Carrot & parsnip
- Add grated Orange zest to your Carrot cake mix for a more citrus flavour
- Add an extra 3 oz of Sugar, if you have a sweet tooth
- Use dairy free yogurt or cream cheese mixed with icing sugar, to make a creamy frosting for your cake.
I plan to try switching the carrots for grated courgettes next time, I'll let you how it turns out xx
