Best Ever carrot cake icing recipe.

I haven't posted a recipe for yonks

but this icing is the best.

Oh, and if you feel the need to put it on cake,

here is the recipe for that too.

(It is a seriously easy and fast cake.

The longest part is the time it takes to grate the carrot)

Carrot cake icing:

90g cream cheese

60g butter, softened

2+ teaspoons grated lemon rind

1 and 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar

Mix first 3 together till smooth then gradually add icing sugar.

Eat with a spoon or put on a cake if you care to.

Carrot cake:

1 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon bicarb of soda

1/2 teaspoon mixed spice

1/2 teaspooon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup castor sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 and 1/2 cups grated carrots

+- 1/3 cup sultanas

Sift flour, baking powder, soda and spices into a bowl.

Add sugar, eggs and oil and mix well.

Stir in carrot (+- sultanas)

Spoon into paper lined loaf tin

Cook at 160 degrees Celius.

Recipe says 1 hour and 10 minutes but in a loaf tin in my oven it takes about 40 minutes till

the skewer comes out clean.

Cool on rack and ice.

Gotta love a good one bowl recipe.
