Greetings everyone from sunny Tenerife ☀️
Today I’ve been baking a cake for a friend’s birthday celebration. Like many of you, I’m constantly learning, refining, and perfecting my recipes—this is all part of the craft. I’m delighted to say that today I finally achieved exactly what I was aiming for with my carrot cake recipe.
As with everything I create, I keep my approach simple and accessible, so anyone can recreate it and truly enjoy the result. I encourage you to give it a try—I’m confident you’ll love it.

This carrot cake is built for flavour and texture. Resting the carrot mixture before baking allows the sugar and spices to draw out moisture, producing an exceptionally tender crumb without heaviness. The addition of homemade applesauce enhances softness, while a simple vanilla mascarpone cream brings balance and elegance without overpowering the cake’s warmth.
Makes: Two 10-inch round cakes
Oven: 180°C (350°F)
⸻
Ingredients
Cake
Dry Ingredients
• 400 g self-raising flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1½ teaspoons baking soda
• 1 tablespoon fine salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients & Add-Ins
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 350 g carrots, finely grated
• 1 cup sultanas
• 250 g neutral vegetable oil
• 5 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup applesauce (see method)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⸻
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line two 10-inch round cake tins.
Rested Carrot Base
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, coconut, spices, grated carrots, and sultanas until evenly combined. Cover and rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Applesauce
Peel, core, and chop 2 medium apples. Place in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons water and 2 tablespoons sugar.
Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until soft. Blend until smooth and cool. Measure 1 cup.
Egg Mixture
Whisk the eggs for 5 minutes, until pale and thickened. Slowly add the oil while whisking, then whisk for a further 2–3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
Combine
Add the rested carrot mixture and applesauce to the egg mixture and mix well.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients in batches until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the tins and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
⸻
Vanilla Mascarpone Cream
Ingredients
• 500 g mascarpone
• 1 cup icing sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Method
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth and fully combined. Do not overmix.
⸻
Assembly
Spread mascarpone cream between the cooled cake layers. Finish with an additional layer on top if desired
