Gracie’s Life Experiment

Decided to do a bit of baking again this afternoon. Really wanted to make a cake or cookies but realised that we have no eggs left (not even a small one hiding in the back of the fridge). Here’s the recipe:

-175g of self-raising flour (I used about 100g of wholemeal and 75g normal)
-50g of raw brown sugar
-1 large grated carrot
-1/3 of a medium sized pineapple diced finely (I had some fresh lurking about in the fridge I guess you could use a 250g tin drained)
-Handful of sultanas
-1 tsp of vanilla essence
-1/4 tsp of baking powder
-2 tsp of white vinegar
-125ml of water
-50ml of vegetable oil

For the icing:
-125g of cream cheese
-100g of icing sugar
-1tbsp of cold water
-Orange zest

Mixed the dry ingredients together and then added the fruits and liquids. I didn’t bother with the hand blender, just mashed it about with a fork. Poured into a 9″ cake tin (used spray oil to grease the tin first). Bake at 180 deg for 40 mins then allow to cool. Mix up the ingredients for the icing and spread on top of cake once cooled.
