This is a nice quick and basic carrot cake recipe. A big pet hate of mine is nuts in carrot cake… so here it is, no nuts, no raisins, just Carrot cake:

150g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
1/4tsp cinnamon
125g butter
125g brown sugar
2 medium free range eggs
75g grated carrot

• pre-heat the oven to 180°c
• Seive together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon
• Add butter, sugar, carrot and eggs
• Beat together well
• Split evenly into 12 cake cases
• bake in the oven for 20-25mins
• remove from the oven and cool

(Although this recipe is for carrot cup cakes it could just as easily be made in two sandwich tins for a full size cake)
