Ingredients for the cake
Here are the ingredients you will need to make the cake batter:

  • Carrots – in the recipe card below, I’ve said to use 300g. Make sure to weigh them after you have peeled the carrots, not before.
  • Granulated sugar – caster sugar works too.
  • Vegetable oil – any flavourless oil does work, but I like to use vegetable oil.
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Plain flour – also known as all purpose flour.
  • Baking powder
  • Salt – just a small amount to help enhance the flavours.
