Carrot Cake

This beautifully moist and warmly spiced carrot cake is a true classic, packed with flavour and texture in every bite. Sweet grated carrots bring natural softness, while juicy raisins and crunchy walnut pieces add bursts of richness throughout. A fragrant blend of mixed spice, ginger and cinnamon creates a comforting aroma, perfectly balanced with a hint of fresh orange zest for a subtle citrus lift. Finished with a smooth layer of creamy American buttercream, this cake is indulgent yet homely—ideal for afternoon tea, celebrations, or simply as a satisfying treat with a cup of coffee.
