Wholemeal Carrot Cake – Lavender and Lovage

This nation recipe for Wholemeal Carrot Cake comes from “The Farmhouse Cookbook”, and is one which I make often for the cake tin.

A Easy Classic Recipe for Carrot Cake Loaf

This nation recipe for Wholemeal Carrot Cake comes from “The Farmhouse Cookbook”, and is one which I make often for the cake tin.

It’s made within the model of a tea loaf, and has no cream cheese icing, as is usually discovered on modern-day carrot cake recipes.

Carrots had been used lots in nation recipes up to now, in addition to throughout WWII in Christmas muffins and Christmas puddings.

This recipe makes a stunning moist carrot cake, with a stunning cinnamon spice heat and the tang of citrus with orange zest.

I like that wholemeal flour is used, which provides a stunning texture to the cake, in addition to more healthy than bleached white flour.

Though the unique recipe requires margarine, I at all times use butter once I make this, it simply offers a greater flavour, and is 100% pure.

Serve this classic carrot cake recipe in thick slices, buttered if you want – though it’s simply as scrumptious unbuttered.

The unique recipe means that for particular events, an orange glaze will be added, and the cake adorned with walnuts – I’ve added that within the notes.

I hope you take pleasure in this cake when you make it – it retains effectively within the cake tin, and will be frozen too, if wrapped in greaseproof paper and defrosted in a single day. Karen
