Cooking Instructions and Tips

Make the Cake Mix
1

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Line two 8''/20cm round cake tins with baking paper.

b) Coarsely grate the carrots, then pop into the centre of a clean tea towel. Wrap the carrot into the tea towel and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.

c) In a large bowl, combine the Betty Crocker's cake mix with three quarters of the cinnamon. Add the grated carrots and mix to coat the carrots in the cake mix.

Ready, Steady, Bake
2

a) In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, water and vegetable oil (see pantry for all three amounts), then add to the cake mix. Gently stir until fully combined, 2-3 mins.

b) Divide the carrot cake mixture between your lined cake tins and pop onto the middle shelf of your oven until risen and golden, 30-35 mins, or until a rounded knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.

c) Once baked, allow the cake to cool for 10 mins before removing from the tins, then allow to cool completely before decorating.

a) In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, salted caramel sauce and the remaining cinnamon.

b) Once completely cooled, gently spread the salted caramel cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of each carrot cake.

c) Stack one cake on top of another, then carefully transfer to your serving platter. Sprinkle the walnuts in a circle around the edge of the top cake to finish.

Enjoy!
