We've not yet had a Bake of the Week post, so I'll make up for it by showing you a picture of the carrot, banana, walnut and raisin cake that I made for a member of staff who is leaving at the end of the month (Julie-Ann is her name, hence the initials in walnuts on the top). As I'm off on my holidays as of now (*does a little excited dance*), we had a little tea-party this afternoon to say farewell. It's this recipe from Waitrose, only I substituted half of the walnuts with raisins, and just did a straightforward butter icing (although I utilised Stuck-in-the-book's tip of adding a little water to the butter icing which made it spreadable for once!)
Next week is of course Persephone Reading Week, but blog-service may be somewhat sporadic after that until we get firmly into September...
Love the initials...how creative!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, this looks divine. I love butter icing.
ReplyDeleteSo... I know you're on holiday and you will be busy, but are are you going to attempt any baking for Persephone Reading Week?

Oh, that sounds like an interesting combination! I've made carrot cakes and banana nut bread but not all together - yum. I'm off to have a closer look at your recipe, could be a baking weekend hmmmm...
