- Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3-4. Butter a 20x30cm cake tin.
- Whisk together the caster sugar, eggs, and oil until homogeneous, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg and ginger. Stir in the carrots. Tip the mixture in the prepared cake tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before turning out of the tin.
- Once cold, you can add a homemade cream cheese icing if you like. With or without icing, chill the cake for 12 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
Tip
To add a little crunch, add some chopped walnuts, hazelnuts or pecans together with the carrots.
