I need to make a carrot cake for my boyfriend's birthday. It needs to be easy because I have never made one before and no raisins, currants or sultanas because he is fussy. Which recipe would you recommend?

what about cupcakes? there's a recipe for one in vegan cupcakes take over the world. I made them last weekend - the recipe says to squirt the cupcake cases with oil spray and I thought can't be bothered and they stuck to the cases.:rollseyes_ani: they tasted good tho - I used the lemon icing on the top. :bigsmile:
Thats a good idea, I might give them a go :D
