Background
This easy carrot and ginger loaf cake is perfect for weekend breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea. You can decorate it with icing, ginger syrup or cream cheese frosting - I served it “naked” without any decoration as I was in a rush. The cake is dairy-free so it's suitable for those with milk allergy.
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 175g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 Tbsp muscovado sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground ginger
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- ½ cup plant-based milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 2 handfuls of sultanas
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Line a medium loaf tin with parchment paper or basket.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and ground ginger in a large mixing bowl.
- Grate the carrots and add to the flour mixture.
- Whisk the eggs with the sugar until creamy in another bowl, then add the oil and milk.
- Add this to the flour mixture and combine until you get a textured batter.
- Fold the walnuts and sultanas into the batter.
- Tip the batter into the prepared tin.
- Put the tin in the middle of the oven and bake the cake for 45-55 minutes, until it's golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Let the cake rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
- When completely cooled, add some icing, cream cheese frosting etc before serving.
