One Pot Carrot Cake

Cooking at home can be as simple as taking a recipe you know works, then tweaking it to create something new. Last week I shared a One Pot Banana Cake recipe that Israel’s grandmother handed down to the family. This week I decided to try turning this recipe into a carrot cake. And guess what, it worked. So here it is, One Pot Carrot Cake.

Ingredients

  • 125g butter, cubed
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tblspns milk
  • 1 tspn vanilla essence
  • 1.5 cups grated carrot (I grated, then cut it into smaller pieces)
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 1.5 cups wholemeal self raising flour
  • shredded coconut, cinnamon and pepitas to sprinkle on the top of the cake

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees
  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
  3. Take saucepan off heat and stir in the sugar
  4. Whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla together
  5. Add the eggy milky mixture to the sugary butter mix, and stir
  6. Stir in the grated carrot and sultanas
  7. Stir in the flour
  8. Pour into a lined cake time (I used a lamington tray because it’s easier to cut into squares for the school lunchbox)
  9. Sprinkle on the mix of coconut, cinnamon and pepitas
  10. Bake in overn for 25-30 minutes until golden and skewer pulls out clean
  11. Allow to cool and cut into pieces

Storing

This one pot banana cake freezes well so I expect this one will too. Cut it into small pieces to be included in the lunchbox.
