My Legendary Carrot Cake

My quest for the best Carrot Cake recipe started when I tasted one slice of Carrot Cake on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Melbourne. I was coming home from Japan with my young children. It was a very long trip and I was extremely tired. The slice of cold and moist Carrot Cake tasted absolutely delicious and I wanted to recreate the cake by myself. I tried some recipes, altered some of them and now I have one great recipe to share with you.

    Preheat oven to 180C. Line a cake tin with baking paper. Grate plenty of carrots. If you can't get Crushed Pineapple, just finely chop up pineapple.

    Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 50 minutes or until cooked through. *Note: If cupcakes, bake for 25 to 30 minutes. DO NOT overcook.

    If you want frosting or icing, traditionally Cream Cheese Frosting is nice for this cake. The cake tastes great without the frosting.

Okay, now I swear these apps can all read minds. I was literally just THINKING about how I have t made carrot cake in forever and how delicious it sounds right now, then BOOM this recipe is the first one on the page when I open up Cookpad. Definitely think it's a sign and I'll be trying this recipe very soon. 😁
