| CARROT, PARSNIP & OLIVE OIL CAKE. 22/02/14 |
 |
| This cake even uses olive oil in the icing – it’s surprisingly delicious. I like to mix carrot and parsnip, but you can use one or the other if you want. |
| INGREDIENTS |
Serves 10
300g/10 oz self-raising flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp ground cloves ½ tsp grated nutmeg 1 tsp ground ginger ½ tsp salt 225g/8 oz light muscovado sugar 250ml/9 fl oz olive oil 4 eggs 150g/5 oz carrots, peeled and coarsely grated 150g/5 oz parsnips, peeled and coarsely grated 75g/2½ oz walnuts, roughly chopped For the icing: 250g/9oz full-fat cream cheese (room temperature) 30ml/1 fl oz olive oil 25g/1 oz icing sugar Zest of 1 orange
|
| METHOD |
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line two 20cm round sponge tins with non-stick baking paper. Mix the flour, baking powder, spices and salt in a bowl. In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar with the oil and beat with the eggs until smooth. Stir in the carrots, parsnips and walnuts, then sift in the dry ingredients and fold them in.
Divide the cake mix between the tins and bake for about 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the tin.
To make the icing, beat the cream cheese, oil, icing sugar and zest together. Sandwich the layers with half of it and spread the rest over the top. |

| I’ve always thought of Marcella Hazan as more of a savoury person, but the few desserts she does are simple and delicious. I’ve adjusted this slightly by using grappa instead of rum. This is not your average cake, however, it’s almost more like a clafoutis than a sponge. Read more |
