Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients twice.
- Beat the eggs until thick, add the sugar gradually (use an electric beater at high speed for about 3 minutes) until the mixture is very thick.
- Add the oil slowly and beat for another 2 minutes.
- Add carrots, pineapple, nuts, Amarula Cream and apricot jam and mix by hand.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixture and fold in with a spatula until well blended.
- Butter a 28 cm diameter loose-bottomed spring form ring, an angle cake tin or 2 loaf tins**.
- Either line the base with baking paper or sprinkle with dry biscuit crumbs to coat lightly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake at 356 degrees to 375 degrees for 1 hr and 10 minute or until done.
- Allow to firm and cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out.
- ICING:.
- Cream the butter and gradually add the icing sugar.
- Gently stir in the Amarula Cream and the cream cheese.
- Don't over mix once the cheese has been added as it is inclined to become watery.
- Garnish:.
- Crystallized pineapple slices and pecan nuts.
- (**CAKE TINS: If using a 28cm springform tin with a hole in the middle there will be a little too much mixture. Fill the tin 2/3 full and bake the rest of the mixture in a muffin tin will make plus/minus 6 muffins extra.
- Angel cake tin - the mixture fits fine.
- Loaf tin - use one very large loaf tin - 30cm x 10 cm or 2 smaller ones).
- (Tip: If you "drip-dry" the cheese in a muslin cloth overnight, it becomes much drier. Allow the cake to cool completely before icing.).

ULTIMATE CARROT CAKE
The most moist and succulently rich Carrot Cake I've ever eaten. It is highly requested by my family and friends and much talked about in between occassions when I bake it. It is a tad labor intensive and has 3 parts, the cake, the buttermilk glaze and the cream cheese frosting But I promise you it is entirely worth the effort this cake takes. The recipe originally was published in the October 1997 Southern Living Magazine, but can also be found on their website. This is truly a 5 star recipe. Baking is a science and being precise is key with a perfect cake. I always recommend spooning the flour into the measuring cup and leveling off, rather than scooping out the flour and leveling. Additional use a best quality vanilla. My favorite is Vanilla Bean Crush by Sonoma Syrup Co. (Can be found at King Arthur Flour on the web, or occassionally at Marshall's.) This recipe has a lot of liquid in it and is a wet batter, but never fear it will bake up with perfection ;)

Steps:
- Prepare muffin tins with papers (about 48 regular cupcakes) or two 9-inch round cake pans (2 inch sides) with parchment and oil.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coarsely grate the carrots in a food processor using the grater attachment.
- Chop them into finer pieces with the medal blade attachment in the food processor, if you want the texture of the cake a little bit finer.
- Mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, brown sugar, vanilla extract and orange zest.
- Mix together all of the dry ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
- Add the finely chopped carrots, walnuts (or coconut), and raisins (or dried cherries).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans or scoop into cupcake papers (fill 3/4 full).
- Bake cupcakes for about 18-25 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
- Bake 9-inch cakes for about 35-40 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
- Cool in pan(s) on wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
- Make frosting by combining all frosting ingredients and beating well, until fluffy.
- NOTE: If you like lots of frosting, double this recipe, but you'll have some left over, even if you are generous with it while frosting the cake. But it's delicious on EVERYTHING!
- To assemble the cake, remove from pan(s) and peel off the parchment paper from the bottom, place on cardboard rounds.
- With a thin serrated knife slice off the very top of the cake layer, using a sawing motion, to level the tops, if desired.
- Cut the cake layers into 2 equal layers. Slide the layers onto a cardboard round or any other flat surface.
- Using an offset spatula spread about 1½ cups of the frosting evenly over the surface of the first layer.
- Top with the next layer and repeat for the rest of the layers.
- Place about 2 cups of the icing on the top of the cake and spread evenly.
- Spread the icing onto the sides of the cake.
- Using the spatula, create swirls in the frosting on the cake. This cream cheese frosting is very soft so you won't want to try for anything too exacting.
- Press additional shredded coconut onto the sides of this cake, as a garnish, if desired.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. For the cake, finely grate the zest from the orange and squeeze 3 tbsp of juice. Pour the juice over the raisins in a bowl, stir in zest, then leave to soak while you make the cake. Lightly oil and line the base of a deep 20cm square cake tin. Mix the flours with 1 tsp baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon.
- Separate one of the eggs. Put the white in a small bowl and the yolk in a large one. Break the remaining whole egg in with the yolk, then tip in the sugar. Whisk together for 1-2 mins until thick and foamy. Slowly pour in the oil and continue to whisk on a low speed until well mixed. Tip in the flour mix, half at a time, and gently stir it into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula or big spoon. The mix will be quite stiff. Put the extra pinch of baking powder in with the egg white and whisk to soft peaks.
- Fold the carrot, raisins (and any liquid) into the flour mixture. Gently fold in the whisked egg white, then pour into the tin. Jiggle the tin to level the mixture. Bake for 1 hr until risen and firm or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin 5 mins, turn out onto a wire rack, peel off the paper, then leave until cold.
- To make the frosting, stir the soft cheese, Quark, icing sugar and orange zest together - don't overbeat. Stir in the lemon juice. Swirl the frosting over the cake and cut into 16 square. This cake is even better if left well wrapped for a day or two before icing and eating. Will keep up to 5 days uniced in an airtight tin, or in the fridge if iced.
