The Carrot Cake tips

This recipe has been used in my family for well up to 30 years now, for every celebration imaginable, even my wedding. My Mum loved to cook and bake and entertain. I am up with her on the first two but really not so much an entertainer. By the time I master and cook and bake dinner I am too exhausted to entertain. Perhaps with experience comes mastery, so I look forward to that!
A few things I wanted to point out with this recipe.
It does work as a cupcake but I strongly suggest our UK imported red and green for christmas. Our brown can handle the cooking oil quite well, however my strongest opinion on this is bake any oil based cake as they are very rich and heavy in a foil liner. Your guests will be happy you did.



Another tip is that cream cheese frosting gets quite hard when refrigerated, so you may want to have room to do this. Piping with Cream cheese frosting is difficult because the time you get the frosting so thick with sugar you drown the tangy zest of the cream cheese. The soft frosting is best left soft preserving the flavour,it spreads beautifully. A flat spatula is best for this. If you must pipe make a buttercream and pipe on some holly!
This cake does freeze well in foil liners already frosted with cream cheese.
We store our cupcakes in a tin in the freezer after they have all been individually frozen on a cookie sheet.

Carrot Cake Monday Cake 2

Carrot Cake Recipe:

1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

3/4 pound *raw carrots (about 2 1/2 cups finely grated)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

4 large eggs

1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar

1 cup vegetable or canola oil

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Note: For a moister carrot cake, add 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple (well drained) or applesauce to the batter when you add the oil and vanilla extract. You may have to bake the cake a few minutes longer.

Note: This cake can be baked in a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan. Just increase the baking time to between 30 to 40 minutes

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1/4 cup salted butter, room temperature

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

2 cups confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

finely grated lemon zest of one lemon

Garnish: (Optional)

1 cup toasted and finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Marzipan Carrots:



To make the carrots you will need: Marzipan and orange and green icing colors (can use liquid or paste food coloring)

Knead a small amount of orange food coloring into the marzipan until the color is distributed and is the desired "carrot" color. Shape into carrots, using a toothpick to make veins.

Knead a small amount of green food coloring into the marzipan and make the carrot tops.

Marzipan is a cooked mixture of finely ground almonds, sugar, and water. It is slightly sweeter and firmer than almond paste and has a smoother texture. It can be colored and rolled out to cover cakes and pastries, or formed into shapes. It comes in plastic-wrapped rolls.
