BANANA & CARROT CAKE

• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it is cooked. Remember if the skewer or knife comes out clean then it is ready. If it is not ready and is starting to get quite brown on the top then place a piece of foil over the top. When out of the oven cool on a wire rack.
• If icing: Beat the butter and cheese together to form a smooth paste, then add the sugar and vanilla. Spread all over the cold cake and decorate around the edges with the whole nuts. I don't decorate our cakes as I am always making them for lunches and too much sugar is a sin!!! However I always decorate my cakes for visitors etc. If you like a topping but like me take them to work, then just before you put the cak in the oven either place some blanched almonds on top of the mixture or some demerara sugar sprinkled all over, this gives a sweet crunchy top! Or mix a very small drop of water in some sieved icing sugar until it makes a thick paste and pour in streaks over the top of your cold cake. This is sweet but less messy than cheese topping!
