Carrot cake gets a bad rap. People think it’s “healthy” because there’s a vegetable in the name. It’s not. It’s cake. But it’s a very good cake – moist, spiced, packed with walnuts and raisins, and covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’ve been making this one for years. Took a while to get the balance right – too many carrots and it’s wet, too few and it’s dry. Too much spice and it’s like a candle, too little and it’s boring. But I got there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat’s in it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh carrots (grated fine), walnuts (toasted, because that’s the only way), raisins (soaked in tea if I have time), and a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of ginger. The sponge is dark gold and moist. The frosting is proper cream cheese – thick, tangy, not too sweet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhere to get it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI bake these in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBromley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
