Carrot Cake – The Baking Duck

Carrot Cake

This cake has come about as a friend at work asked me if I would make a cake for his mum for Mother’s Day.

I have done some carrot cupcakes before but not a big carrot cake. I was excited to make a big cake as I don’t do them very often and getting to do one that I probably wouldn’t do was good.

This carrot cake recipe is not the standard one but still smelt amazing once it was cooked. I added a layer of walnuts to the middle to add a little crunch.

When I delivered this to my friend at work, he was excited to give it to his mum on Mother’s Day. I hope wish every mum out there had a great Mother’s Day.
