Specially for my Hub's Birthday

Carrot Cake

Ingredients:

150g Cowhead salted butter

150g Blue Jacket Cake Flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon 

60g fine sugar

80g light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 Tbsp rum 

150g carrots, shredded

70g raisins 

60g walnuts

 

Frosting

227g Cowhead cream cheese

60g Cowhead salted butter

80g icing sugar

 1/2 Tbsp Cointreau

sweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted

 Method:

1. Place butter in a pan & heat on the stove until the butter has melted & begins to turn brown. 

Pour the browned butter into a clean bowl & discard the butter solid residue.

 

 2. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda & powder into a bowl. Set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk sugars, eggs & rum till smooth. 

Add in the browned butter & mix well.

 4. Add in all the flour mixture & mix until well combined. 

Add in carrots, raisins & walnuts. Mix well.

5. Pour batter into two 7” cake pans. 

Bake in a preheated oven @ 160C for 20mins. 

 

Verdict: Extremely soft & moist cake. Very flavorful as you bite into the sweet raisins, crispy walnuts & toasted coconut flakes. Smooth cream cheese frosting with a light salty taste from the butter. Perfect combination! Even my hubby who does not like carrot cake commented that it is very yummy.

 

I asked my hubby what cake pattern he wanted for his birthday this year few mths ago. He said that he wanted the cat same as the decal in our room *^_^*
