Carrot Cake à la Seven Shelves
Carrot cake is a classic Easter family favourite, we’ve gone and upgraded the traditional recipe with the addition of HolyFlavours Cinnamon Powder Ceylon Organic to add a hint of spice. This is the ultimate cake for serving as a dessert, for afternoon tea or even as a birthday bake. Our recipe for carrot cake is guaranteed to be super moist and packed with flavour as the natural liquid within the grated carrots is released as it bakes. The cake is then covered in a cream cheese frosting and ready to serve to your loved ones.

HolyFlavours Cinnamon Powder Ceylon Organic is our not-so-secret ingredient, used both within the cake and the cream cheese frosting. Cinnamon naturally pairs well with desserts and sweet treats as the spice provides a sweet, woody flavour with a hint of citrus. The overall impact is a warming sensation which makes the cake richer and balanced with depth of flavour. Ceylon cinnamon rather than Cassia cinnamon, supplies a richer, milder taste which is why HolyFlavours Cinnamon Powder Ceylon Organic is our product of choice. The overall steps are very simple to follow and we are confident that even an amateur baker will have success with our guide. This recipe is perfect for beginners, once the ingredients are prepared all you need to do is bring everything together to form an easy cake batter then bake and enjoy. Walnuts are an optional addition to the cake, popular alternatives include pecans or for a nut-free option simply leave them out. A must though is our cream cheese frosting as cream cheese frosting and carrot cake are a match made in heaven. We highly recommend that you spread the cinnamon-infused frosting over once the cake has cooled then you are ready to serve. Follow our recipe below for all the steps to make a delicious carrot cake yourself!
