Ciccio's Best Ever Carrot Cake Recipe...never fail...great texture...holds well
makes 2x 12" cakes aprox 2" high, a very moist cake that is easy sliced, gorgeous texture, actually better 2 days after it has been baked
Ingredients:
4.5 cups Vegetable Oil ( I use Soya oil)
6 cups Raw sugar
12 Eggs
6 cups Flour
4 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Baking Soda
2 Tbsp Salt
2 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 cup Walnuts roughly chopped
9 cups Carrots peeled & finely grated
Line your pans with baking paper & spray with cooking spray (I use Bakels Sprink)
Sift the Flour, Baking Powder, Baliong Soda, Salt & Cinnamon & set aside
In a mixer with paddle attachment (or by hand using whisk) beat the Oil, Sugar & eggs until creamy, 
add the dry ingredients & mix until just combined. Fold through the carrot & Walnuts until well combined,
split cake batter accross the 2 prepared 12" pans & Bake @ 180C for aproximately 1 hour test with skewer that it comes out smooth, cool on bench then wrap in clingfilm overnight in the fridge
Then use our cream cheese frosting recipe http://cakesdecor.com/Ciccio/blog/355

I love carrot cake and usually use Delia Smith’s Ultimate Carrot Cake with Marcarpone Cream. That uses pecans rather than walnuts, but I’ll have to give your one a go too, as it looks delicious!! Helenna x

Hi Jo here I am! I promise if ever anyone wants me to make them a carrot cake I’ll use this one…I don’t understand the desire to put sultanas in salads, apricot in chicken and carrots in cake, but I know I’m in the weird minority ;) This does look delicious…..you don’t want to share a yummy banana cake recipe do you?? haha!! :) xxx
