We all love a decent slice of homemade carrot cake and often, we should never stray far from a perfect, classic recipe - however, this one is simply magnificent with a cuppa and must be tried.The clever addition of a sweet, ripe banana mashed into your batter transforms the finished sponge into moist and melt-in-the-mouth bites which combine beautifully with the crunch of classic chopped walnuts and gooey, sticky sultanas.The star of the show is that buttercream though - by adding fresh lemon juice you'll create a citrus zest that elevates your cake to the next level.
Optional, but a highly recommended add, it's also a delight to play about with other citrus flavours like lime, clementine, or our favourite at this time of the year - seasonal blood oranges.
Sweet, rich and tangy! Now, stick that kettle on and whip out that whisk - all ready in just three simple steps!
