Carrot cake 

Ingredients

• 1 cup of all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• a pinch of salt

• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder

• 1/2 a cup of brown sugar

• 1/2 a cup of granulated white sugar

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

• 2 eggs

• 2 cups of grated carrots

• 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil

• 5 tablespoons of The Gourmet Jar walnut cinnamon honey​​​

​

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 175’C

• Sieve and mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

• In a separate bowl, mix the oil, vanilla and eventually add and mix the eggs too.

• Combine both the mixtures and pour it into a lightly floured cake tin (or one lined well with parchment paper).

• Place the filled tin in the oven for approximately 30-45 minutes. Once it looks done, insert a fork to check if it’s thoroughly cooked. A clean fork means its ready :)

• After allowing the cake to cool, put it on a cake stand, drizzle the honey over the top and enjoy!​

​

Adjustments and additions

• A handful of chopped walnuts or pecans can be added to the cake batter for a crunch, even raisins work very well.

• If you want to avoid the honey drizzle, add 1/4 of a cup of brown sugar to the cake batter.
