Hi
Does anyone have a can't go wrong recipe for Carrot Cake that rises beautifully and is moist and delicious? Have tried a couple and can't seem to find one that rises well.

8oz SR flour
1 level tsp mixed spice
8oz soft marg or butter
8oz brown sugar
4oz sultanas (i soak them in orange juice for 1/2hr first)
4oz carrots peeled & grated
4 eggs
1 table spoon of milk or orange juice
zest of 1 orange (optional)

8-81/2" round springform cake tin, base-lined

set oven to gas 4 or 180C, sift flour & spice into a bowl then add all the other ingredients and mix till a soft dropping consistancy.

Pour into the tin and smooth top till level, bake in the centre of the oven for about 1 hr or untill firm to touch in centre (to begin with it looks like it isn't going to rise but it does!), leave to cool in the tin.

This cake is moist enough to last up to 5 days in a tin.

This recipe also works well for carrot muffins just keep an eye on them as they only need about 40 mins in the oven.

Hope this helps
