Serves 8 to 10

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

420 g self-raising flour
1 t bicarbonate of soda
a pinch of salt
1 cup sunflower oil
400 g sugar
4 free-range eggs
320 g grated carrots
1 x 440 g can crushed pineapple, drained
1 t cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
100 g pecans, finely chopped

For the icing:

1 x 250 g tub smooth cottage cheese
5 T condensed milk
2 lemons, zested and juiced

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and spray an 18 x 28 cm rectangular cake tin (or a 30 cm round cake tin) well with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate soda and salt together. Whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs. Add the oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

3. Fold in the carrots, pineapple, cinnamon and nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. (If you use a cupcake pan, bake for about 20 minutes.) Turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool.

4. To make the icing, mix the cottage cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Spoon the mixture on top of the cake and dust with cinnamon.
