Steemit Culinary Challenge #49 Carrot Cake with Dates and Walnuts

Very easy Carrot Cake with dates and walnuts

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Plenty of cinnamon

1.25 cups oil
1 cup castor sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 eggs

6 Carrots
6 Dates
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

The hardest part of this recipe was grating the carrots.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
Mix Oil and other ingredients in a separate bowl adding eggs in one at a time
Add dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients and finally add the carrots, nuts and dates

Place into 2 pans and bake for 30 mins at 175 degrees

When cooled drip over cream cheese mixed with cream and icing sugar

Guess this recipe doesn't fall under the very healthy due to all the sugar - but my late mother used to say of a fruit cake "Its just some fruit with a bit of dough around it" and recently I read "life doesn't begin until you can have a piece of cake without celebrating"
