Have You Tried the Carrot Cake....

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.
