CARROT CAKE ILLUSTRATED ON FRONT OF BOX

• Adjust oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter and line the base of the pan with baking paper or spray base with a non-stick cooking spray.
• Decant the dry flour mix, from the foil pack, into a bowl. Add 1 T (15 ml) of the measured melted butter and toss it with the flour (this ensures a moist, light textured baked cake).
• Beat eggs and remaining melted butter together for 30 seconds on high speed until well blended. Carry on beating while adding the oil.
• Add warmed milk and beat briefly on high speed.
• Add carrot and pineapple mixture and beat it in.
• Add the flour mix and gently fold it in by hand with a spatula. Mix until combined. It is important not to overmix.
• Scrape mixture into prepared 18 cm pan. Level the top and make a slight hollow in the middle.
• Place in the oven. See baking time in left panel. Cake is done when a thin-bladed knife inserted into the centre comes out clean and the cake pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan.
• Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out on a cooling rack. Do not ice until cake is completely cold.
• Cut the cake horizontally through the middle to form two layers before icing. Watch the video on our website on how to emulate the illustration on the box.
