Total Time 1 hours 5 minutes

Prep Time 35 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 sachets (200g) creamed coconut
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp cashew nut butter
50g icing sugar
60ml oat milk
250ml jar coconut oil , melted
300g light brown sugar
1½ tsp vanilla essence
210ml dairy free milk , we used oat milk
420g plain flour
1½ tsp baking powder
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon , plus extra cinnamon to decorate
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 orange , zest only
4 medium carrots , grated (you want 270g grated weight)
75g chopped walnuts , plus extra to decorate
edible flowers (optional)

Steps:

  • Start by making the icing first. Mash the coconut cream with 2 tbsp hot water and the lemon juice until smooth. Add the cashew butter then whisk in the icing sugar followed by the oat milk. Continue to whisk until fully combined, set aside in the fridge until needed.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4. Grease 2 x 20cm cake tins with a little of the melted coconut oil and line the bases with baking parchment. Whisk together the oil and sugar, then add the vanilla and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, spices and orange zest in a separate bowl. Add these to the wet mixture and stir well. Finally stir in the carrot and the nuts. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out cleanly. Cool in the tin for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sandwich the cakes together with half the icing then cover the top with the remaining icing (add a splash of oat milk if the icing feels too firm). Scatter over the nuts and dust the cake with a little cinnamon and decorate with edible flowers.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield Serves 12-14

Number Of Ingredients 11

225g softened salted butter, plus extra for the tins
125g golden caster sugar
100g light brown soft sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
225g self raising flour
2 tbsp milk
toffee, chocolate or caramel pieces, to decorate
200g softened salted butter
400g icing sugar (golden icing sugar if you can find it – it adds a golden colour and caramel flavour)
70g caramel sauce, dulce de leche or caramel spread, plus 3 tbsp to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter two 20cm springform tins and line the bases with baking parchment.
  • Beat the butter and both sugars in a bowl with an electric whisk for a few mins until lighter in colour and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour and beating in between each egg. Add the remaining flour and milk. Divide between the cake tins and bake for 25-30 mins until they’re golden, spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle. Cool in the tins for a few mins, then tip out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, for the icing, put the butter and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk for a few mins until light and airy. Whisk in the caramel briefly, adding 1 tbsp of boiling water to loosen, if needed. Set aside until the sponges are completely cool before assembling, or the icing will melt.
  • Use half the icing to sandwich the cakes together, then spread the remainder over the top, smoothing it out with a knife or the back of a spoon. Leave in a cool place until ready to serve. Drizzle with the 3 tbsp extra sauce (warm briefly in the microwave if it’s a little stiff), allowing some to drip down the sides if you like, and scatter over the toffee, chocolate or caramel pieces to serve. Edible glitter, birthday candles or sparklers, optional.
