Steps:

  • Top and tail, peel and then grate the carrots.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Melt margarine and combine with grated carrots.
  • Add sugar and sift in the flour.
  • Add the cinnamon, baking powder and eggs.
  • Mix in sultanas/raisins and add the nuts (optional).
  • Bake for 20 mins until a consistent dark colour and a slightly firm top.
  • Leave to cool and then add the icing.
  • For the icing: Mix cream cheese and sifted icing sugar together and add the (optional) cinnamon.
  • Use a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe a circular twirl on the top of the carrot cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are about 1 inch in diameter and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are too thick or have green shoulders, as these can be bitter.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and ensure that the cakes are moist and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin tin with liners: This will help the cakes bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

These mini carrot cake tortes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, tender, and full of carrot flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, and it adds a touch of sweetness and tang.
