ieuneNot having a wong-eared wascally wabbit awound--I mean, around to make off with my carrot surplus, I resorted to my cook books. This recipe comes from Barbara Maher's book 'Ultimate Cake'. I have to say that I found the instructions a tad confusing and I made a complete cock-up of it the first time although the result was still edible, and that I substitute ground coriander where the recipe stipulates cinnamon. (Dislike cinnamon fairly averagely intensely)
Mitte:
180g plain flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
1 tsp ground coriander (cinnamon)
Sift together in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, mix together:
180g carrot, peeled and grated and patted dry (I use up to 200g and it's fine)
50-90g roasted hazelnuts, chopped (She says 90g but I use 50g and it's fine)
150g light muscovado sugar
Beat in to this bowl 2 eggs, one at a time, followed with the finely grated zest of an orange and 75g of melted and cooled butter.
Gently fold in the flour ingredients from first bowl.
Pour into 2lb loaf tin, greased and lined.
Bake in pre-heated oven 180°C for 50 mins – 1 hour, or until a cake skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes in the tin.
Turn out onto wire rack, peel off lining paper, and leave to cool.
