Easy Carrot Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 cup grated walnuts

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a baking tin.
2. In a bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl using hand electric mixer beat oil and sugar together. Beat in eggs and sour cream. Beat in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and dry ingredients. Add in carrots and walnuts, stir until combined.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the baking tin, before removing. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. You can also add frosting to the cake, if desired. Here is my favourite healthy frosting recipe.
