The cinnamon-spiced carrot cake has its origins in American baking and has since become a firm favourite with "how to make carrot cake" becoming a hot recipe request.

An easy carrot cake recipe combines eggs, flour, butter and sugar along with chopped walnuts and spices such as cinammon and ginger but the trick to creating a truly moist carrot cake lies in the use of oil; try measuring oil into your cake mixture along with some butter for a truly rich and sumptious cake.

But no recipe for carrot cake would be complete without creamy carrot cake icing which can be made by combining cream cheese with butter and icing sugar before whisking to a smooth consistency. Good enough to eat straight from the bowl!
