I had about $6 worth of carrots and apples that are about to go off so I decided to put them into a cake that costs five times as much - so much for trying to be frugal 😂.

I had to Google carrot and apple cake and this one seemed promising; however I couldn’t find the specific Whittaker’s flavour in the recipe so I got what was available at the dairy which was a Fijian Ginger and Kerikeri Mandarin dark chocolate bar.

Baking notes:
By the 50th minute, the top was dark and a skewer inserted into the middle came out clean, but when I was trying to cut the cake across so I could put some frosting in between, the middle was very soft. Either my oven was too hot and the cake needed more time, or I should’ve waited until it was completely cool and firmed up.

With only a cup and a half of sugar in it, it wasn’t too sweet, but I feel that it needed a bit more sweetness.
