Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze
Recipe by:
Kathleen Dickerson
A sumptuous and moist carrot cake, studded with sultanas and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Instead of the usual cream cheese frosting, however, this calls for a light cream cheese glaze. You can use two 20 or 23cm round cake tins instead of the tube cake tin; simply adjust baking time as necessary.

Recipe by:

You can add some chocolate chips or raspberries for a bit of variety but these taste lovely on their own, with a cup of black coffee. If you use a flexible silicone mould, no need to butter it.

Baked raspberry cheesecake
I had never baked a cheesecake before this; only ever whacked together some cream cheese and mascarpone and put it on top of a biscuit base - and the conclusion is it really tastes much better if you make it from scratch. This cheesecake tastes divine! I made a raspberry coulis and created a marble effect on the top and the outcome was fab. It didn't really sink that much in the middle which was brilliant as well!

This recipe was given to me about 30 years ago by a friend whose cousin lived in America and wrote books of old traditional recipes she found from around the country.
