CJ's Simple Carrot Cake
-----------------------
John Morris's cooking segment was missing from ABC Radio's "Queensland
Sunday" programme this week because he was crook. Chris Jensen, now at
the ABC station in Toowoomba but former presenter of "Qld Sunday" from
Rockhampton, was called in at short notice to supply a recipe for the
masses. Here it is ("Very simple carrot cake" according to CJ):
Ingredients:
3/4 C raw sugar
1 1/2 C wholemeal self-raising flour
1 1/2 C grated carrot
EITHER 3/4 C Canola oil and 2 eggs
OR 1/2 C Canola oil and 3 eggs
(Make your choice based on your personal health credo :)
"Lots" of mixed spice - CJ uses whole of "small packet" of Harper's (15 g??)
Chopped pecans or walnuts ("Pecans are better") - quantity not specified
Option: Add some floured raisins too.
Method:
Mix all of the above in a bowl then dump in a prepared baking tin.
Bake in oven at 350 F/180 C until cooked (time not specified :-(
Hint: When cooked, turn oven off and let the cake cool until it is
cool enough to handle without oven mitts, then wrap cake and tin in
gladwrap and set it aside until cool enough to apply icing (assuming
you want to, otherwise I assume you just let it cool right down while
wrapped, before eating or storing). This makes for a nice moist cake.
