icing — Recipes — ALEXANDRA DUDLEY

I’ve been making this carrot cake for years and it is a firm family favourite. It’s beautifully moist with a good dose of cinnamon spice. I let my stand mixer do all the hard work whisking. I have Smeg one and love it. It guarantees completely smooth and irresistibly creamy frosting - that is arguably the best bit of any cake.

Lemon layered raspberry jam cake with marbled mascarpone icing

A cake of pure joy. A cake that is perfect for a celebration or simply to bring a bit of sweetness to a midweek tea. I made this for my father’s 60th birthday and it went down a treat. The jam is key here for creating the beautiful marbling as well as those striking pink lines through the sponge.
