Carrot, Pineapple, and Walnut Cake
Two baking-related things happened this week! First of all I made Peggy Porschen's Carrot Cake, and second, I made it again, entered The Sunday Cook-Off* on Twitter, and won "Dessert of the Week"!
Looks and sounds gorgeous Colette. Walnuts in cake, mmmm. If you ever have the urge to make coffee and walnut cake, I'll keep the car engine running...
I make a very similar cake with the addition of grated carrot - it's an old WI recipe. I love this kind of recipe with fruits and nuts so you can pretend to yourself they are terribly healthy
I'm so glad you posted the recipe as I spotted it on Sunday Cook Off looking rather delicious. Carrot cake is my favourite of the cake family and I'm always on the look out for a new recipe for it as I haven't found a perfect one yet. I don't have three sandwich tins the same size so might have to adapt it into a loaf or cupcake form. Thanks for sharing. :)
Hi Adrienne, and thanks for your comment. There is enough mixture here for 3 x 6" which is 18. So maybe 2 x 9" tins would work, but you would have to watch/change the cooking times. It might even be a bit much for a 2lb loaf tin, I think. Hope that helps!

ReplyDeleteThank you Neil. Oddly enough, I bought some walnut halves the other day, with a coffee & walnut recipe in mind :)

ReplyDeleteLots of similar ones around, Amee, but really liked this one when I saw it, as our Babs doesn't like raisins which most recipes contain.
DeleteOh wait - you have the carrot too and it is the same recipe - how funny is that!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, funny how they are all so alike really :)
Deleteoh my, now that looks divine!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chantelle, it's very moreish :)
