hi all  does anyone make carrot cake ?  i made one this afternoon from a recipe off the internet and it was well sort of too wet more like a pudding, a bit disappointed but i will have another go if anyone knows a good recipe
took me ages to grate all the carrots my arm went stiff

Hi,
Sounds like yr carrots may be too juicy!
Try squeezing out some of the liquid from the grated carrots with a kitchen towel.
This is a nice recipe, though I leave the walnuts out as I don't like them.

jedigirl, thanks for that, i did think when i had grated the carrots how juicy they were, in fact i had to eat a little bit of it    but the recipe never mentioned anything about that but i will have a look at the link you gave, have you tried it yourself ?

[jedigirl]

With cream or custard >hands over bowl with spoon<

[kerrieann]

Is it un-edible?  Birds will enjoy it 

[kerrieann]

not really but its too wet more like a pudding    not what i was expecting  not sure if the birds will eat it, may stick there beaks together

[CLKD]

Could you dry it in the oven for the birds?

[kerrieann]

i could do yes 

[CLKD]

would it slice and go under the grill?

[kerrieann]

too soggy to slice

  ……. 

Is it made with condensed milk?

[kerrieann]

no why ?
