Joey, This cake is not hard to make. It just takes a lot of time getting everything together. I would suggest that you gather everything first and then began. That way you will be sure to have all your ingredients at hand. My other suggestion would be is to make your cake either in a flat pan or use four small layers. This cake is so ';tinder'; that is want to break if it is too thick. IT IS A WONDERFUL CAKE. I take to everywhere I go that I have to bring food and my family wants it all the time here at home.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon. Beat eggs and add oil. Combine dry ingredients with egg mixture. Add carrots and nuts and pour into 4 greased/floured cake pans (8 or 9 inch) and bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Cream together cream cheese and butter. Add sugar and beat well. ( I always let my cake cool for a very long time, sometimes overnight) When cake is cool, frost between layers.Looking for a new a different kind of cake recipe.....please read details...?

Place the sugar, milk and butter in a large saucepan. Use a fine sieve to sift the cocoa and bicarbonate of soda over the mixture. Place the pan over medium-low heat and use a whisk to stir until the mixture is smooth (don't boil the mixture). (See microwave tip.) Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Set aside for 2 minutes before turning onto a wire rack. Set aside for 1 3/4 hours or until completely cool.


To make the chocolate icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a medium bowl. Add the butter and water, and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.

Set aside for about 50 minutes or until the icing is firm. microwave tip Place the sugar, milk and butter in a large, heatproof microwave-safe bowl. Use a fine sieve to sift the cocoa and bicarbonate of soda over the mixture. Heat, uncovered, on Medium/500watts/50%, using a whisk to stir every minute, for 2-3 minutes or until smooth.


Notes %26amp; tips


Variations:


Quick-mix hazelnut chocolate cake: Add 75g (1/2 cup) hazelnuts, finely chopped, with the eggs in step 3.


Quick-mix mocha liqueur cake: Reduce the milk to 125ml (1/2 cup). Add 1 1/2 tbs instant coffee granules with the sugar, milk and butter in step 2. Add 60ml (1/4 cup) coffee liqueur (like Tia Maria or Kahlua) with the eggs in step 3.


Tip: A non-stick cake pan is not suitable to use when making this cake as it will retain too much heat and burn the cake's base and sides.


Storage: This cake will keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days. In warmer weather, keep in an airtight container in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
