Fruity Carrot Cake

Posted 2015-06-06 by Bastion Harrison ⇒ follow


Carrot cake is one of my favourites, and I am always happy to try new variations. It is usually flavoured with lots of different spices, but in this recipe, those spices are replaced with fruit, making it especially moist. I already have a pre-order for it as a birthday cake - one that is not due until next year.

Preparation Time: 40 minutes

2 eggs

  • Grate the carrots, chop the pineapple and apricots, and mix with the sultanas.



  • Zest and juice the orange, and add half to the fruit mixture.
