I am wanting a relatively easy recipe for carrot cake that doesnt have wholemeal flour in it.
Any help is much appreciated.

I have costed out many recipes due to living on a benefit, and I still find it is cheaper to bake. I bake with marg instead of butter, buy Pam's, or home brand flour around $2.50 bag (unless it's on special got it for $1.70 at Pak'n'Save.) Will attach my carrot cake recipe, I have at times used other flour in this.

Carrot cake
Place in a bowl: 1/2 cup white flour 1/2 cup wholemeal flour* this could be replaced with white flour is desired. 3/4 cup raw sugar 1tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking soda
To this mix add 2 beaten eggs.
Then add 1/2 cup cooking oil 1 1/2 cups grated carrot bake in a well greased ring tin or round &-8inch t at 180deg for 30 mins.
This makes a very soft moist cake. If you require a very deep cake the recipe could be doubled. This recipe is one I have personally used. Good luck and enjoy.

Some of us don't care whether its more expensive or not. I know everything I bake is much nicer than bought and I don't care how much it cost.I enjoy baking and get a great deal of satisfaction out of baking a perfect cake.As for an easy Recipe for the original poster....try this one: Carrot Cake 1c oil (canola is best) 2c plain flour 2 tsps baking soda 3 eggs 1c chopped pecans or walnuts 1c raisins 2c caster sugar 2 tsps ground cinnamon 2 tsps vanilla extract 1 tsp salt 2c grated carrot 1c crushed pineapple well drained Beat eggs together, sift together over dry ingredients, then add everything else. Mix together until well blended. Pour into a greased and lined cake tin. Bake @ 180C for about 1 1/2 hours until cooked.

Thanks for the recipes,much appreciated.
I love home baking, I dont care about the cost. I want my kids to see that I can bake and its good for them to have input. They choose one thing each and I bake it, so at least they will eat it.

I made this cake today, added 3/4 cupish finely chopped dates and it was AMAZING!!!! I even made lots of mistakes, I realised after I had put it into the muffin pan (I made it into cupcakes as I couldn't find my smaller cake tin) that I had forgotten the baking powder and baking soda so put it back in a bowl and added them, then back in the oven it went.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

This is a recipes thread so generally speaking people have already decided they want to make it themselves!
It's also good to know what's in your food and making it yourself is the best way to know.
