Ingredients for the Icing:

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a round or square cake tin with melted butter.

  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon together.

  3. Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add the oil and continue beating.

  4. Fold in the sifted flour mixture until smooth, and then finally fold in the grated carrots, mashed bananas and nuts.

  5. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Set aside in the tin for 20 minutes to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Method for the Icing:

  1. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Fold in the cream cheese and vanilla essence.

  3. Once the cake is cooled, ice and decorate the top with chopped nuts or have it just with the icing.
