Sweeten up January with Phil Vickery’s carrot cake

It’s a new year and a new start, so we’re all looking for a fresh take on our favourite dessert – but that doesn’t always mean we know how to make it. Luckily, help is at hand with this simple step-by-step pudcast by Carnation and celebrity chef Phil Vickery.

Each month, Phil steps into the kitchen to create a new dessert, and this month’s Carrot Cake recipe is a must-have for anyone’s baking repertoire - try Phil’s moist, lightly spiced version, which has a luscious creamy frosting.

Phil’s Tip: Try making icing or marzipan ‘carrots’ coloured with food colouring to decorate your cake for a special occasion. You can also make muffin size carrot cakes - simply spoon the mixture into 12 muffin cases in a muffin tin and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
