Recipe ingredients

¾ cup Self-raising flour
¾ cup Wholemeal flour
1 tsp Mixed spice
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Ginger
1 tsp Baking soda
1 cup Caster sugar
3 large Eggs
1 cup Sunflower or similar oil
1 tsp Vanilla essence
¾ cup Walnuts, chopped
2 cups grated Carrot
½ cup Sultanas or Raisins
2 Tbsp desiccated Coconut
Cream Cheese Icing
125g Cream cheese, softened
50g Butter, softened
2½ cups Icing sugar

Cooking Steps

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C while sifting the flours, spices and soda into a large mixing bowl. Then add all the remaining ingredients and stir until just combined but don't beat. Line a cake tin (20 x 23cm - 6 cm deep) with baking paper and oil or grease. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top and bake for about 1 hr.
The cake is cooked when a skewer or knife is inserted into the middle of the cake and it comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool then remove from the cake tin and peel off the baking paper.
Cream Cheese Icing
Mix well all the ingredients until smooth Icing consistency. Spread over top of cooled cake.
