Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

written by Katrina - The Organised Housewife February 22, 2014August 29, 2019

My son loves Carrot Cake, but not sure if he just loves the icing more, I suspect it could be.  But I’m not complaining, I really enjoy both and happy to make both!!  I split the batter in half and cooked it in two tins, then doubled the cream cheese icing recipe so I could layer the middle of the cake with more cream cheese icing, you can never have too much of this icing!

A nutty and very subtle spiced carrot cake, topped with loads of cream cheese icing.

Hi Katrina,
I made this yesterday. Very yummy and so moist. The only thing I did differently was to leave out the nuts so it is school friendly and, also, anyone who wants nuts at home can add them to the top of the icing before eating. This will very quickly become a family favourite. Thanks so much!

Great idea leaving the nuts out to make it school friendly, so pleased you enjoyed it!

Instagram post 2196441464149896352_6128276 I absolutely love putting up the Christmas tree with the family! I don a silly Santa hat, crank the Christmas tunes, and we all dance around the lounge room whilst decorating the Christmas tree. Typically I go traditional colours for our Christmas tree, but last year I purchased a white tree and decorated it with pretty pastel colours. It looked pretty, but it didn’t have the same Christmas vibe, so this year I went back to our regular green red and gold decorations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What colours did you pick for your tree this year? 🎄
