Carrot Fruit Cake

I saw this recipe in newspapers and decided to give it a try, but with slight modifications of course. Knowing my dad likes carrot cake a lot and being health conscious, the sugar was reduced in this recipe. And the cake turns out to be nice and yummy with a nice scent of cinnamon.


INGREDIENTS
200g plain flour
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp soda bicarbonate
1 ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
4 eggs
120g granulated sugar
150ml corn oil
200g grated carrot
100g mixed dried fruits
50g toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

METHOD
1. Line a loaf pan with baking paper and preheat oven to 180 Celsius
2. Sift flour, baking powder, soda bicarbonate and cinnamon powder into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Mix eggs, sugar and oil in a separate bowl and stir until well combined.
4. Add the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir until it becomes a batter.
5. Stir in the grated carrot, walnuts and mixed dried fruits and mix well.


6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

7. Let the cake stand in the oven for 10 minutes before cooling on a wire rack
8. Serve while it’s warm which taste best.
