Carrot cake from Baking mad series.

I have been watching Eric Lanlard series Baking mad, and am mightily impressed by his baking and decorating abilities, his cakes are works are of which is partly why I really enjoyed the series, as is more creative than every day baking, he can come across rather snobby though, typical Frenchman!

On special occasions its nice to really push the boat out and produce something with a wow factor,and there are lots of ideas in this series for just that.

I though I would try his Carrot cake recipe as haven't found a recipe yet that I really love and think ' This is the one' but this may be....

. 

I halved the amounts on the recipe as only wanted to make one cake as this makes 2 loaf tins.  I added some milk to the mix as felt too claggy and thick to me.

The muscavdo sugar definitely is an improvement on caster sugar, it gives it a better depth of flavour. This cake was very moist inside, I heartily recommend!

Kids and hubby will devour later.
