12” cake tin
Food Mixer
Large Mixing Bowl
Wire Cooling Rack

Tastes great with Coffee.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F

Grease and flour an 12” cake tin.

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Pour out the cake batter in to the tin and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out hot and clean.

Place the cake on a cooling rack to cool.

Once cool, remove from the tin and cut the cake in half from side to side.

So you have a top and a bottom

Cream cheese frosting

Beat the ingredients together.

Spread a third of the mixture in the middle of the two cakes and sandwich together.

Top the remainder of the frosting on top of the cake and grate a little carrot and courgette on the top for decoration.
