Our easy carrot cake recipe only needs one tin and two bowls β just add the wet ingredients to the dry and bake. This classic carrot cake has a touch of orange and walnuts plus the obligatory cream cheese icing. It's incredibly quick to put together, but because it is baked in a single layer, it needs to cook slowly all the way through to the centre. This results in a dense, moist carrot cake that isn't too sweet. It will keep for several days in an air-tight tin, if you can restrain yourself.
