The Caribbean Carrot Cake on page 134 of the Everyday Cookbook is one of my favourite cakes, so moist and tasty and with only 100g brown sugar for such a large cake, it’s healthy enough for lunchboxes (without the icing).
Carrot cake is super easy to make when the Thermomix grates your carrots in 4 seconds flat! And the coconut, pineapple and walnuts just make it.
The recipe makes quite a large cake so this time I cooked half of it in a loaf tin (which I sliced and froze) and made the rest into cupcakes, with the cream chese icing as a treat.
Just scrumptious!
how long did you bake the cupcakes for and at what temperature. Mine wouldn't cook on the inside i had them in the oven for over an hour at the recommended cake cooking temperature in the EDC book
I got excited when I saw you mention a recipe that was healthy enough for school lunchboxes (always looking for those), but this one has 100g of walnuts in it, and nobody's allowed to go to school packing a walnut. Have you tried it without the walnuts?
I have tried with sunflower seeds, though you will probably only need about 30-40gms.
