The Easter Bunnies Favourite Carrot Cake Recipe

So we all know that the Easter Bunny loves carrots right?! Well I have it on good authority that he naturally also loves nothing more than a moist slice of carrot cake. It turns out that I have just the recipe that will guarantee the Easter Bunny will stop past your place this Easter!

Of course carrot cake doesn't have to be eaten just at Easter, you can whip up this delicious cake anytime you please!

2-3 Carrots Grated (around 300g)
1 Cup Self Raising Flour
1/2 Cup Plain Flour
1Tsp Bicarb of Soda
1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil (or other of your choice)
1/2 Cup Golden Syrup
3 Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence or Extract

Pre-heat oven at 170 degrees
Grease and line pan, I used a 20cm round tin
Peel carrots and set aside
Sift the flours, bicarb of soda and cinnamon together in to a large bowl
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, oil, golden syrup, eggs and vanilla. Use a whisk to combine ingredients
Pour wet mixture in to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon.
Stir in grated carrot
Place mix in pan and bake for 50 - 60 minutes
Once cool, ice if desired

Whilst icing is optional, cream cheese frosting does go down a treat! Try this or this version, both super delish!!
I have topped my cake with mini Easter Eggs for a touch of easter, these would be super cute made in to cupcakes all topped with individual milk chocolate eggs at Easter time
Make sure you leave a slice for the Easter bunny, in return I am sure he will be extra generous with your Easter Eggs this year!!
