Can a stove top double as an oven? Carrot Cake like you have never seen it before...

For a simple and much adored classic dessert cake the whole family will enjoy. The irresistible stove top carrot cake is a must this winter. Best enjoyed with a group of your girly friends over a cup of hot chocolate or freshly brewed coffee.

A super-sweet way to stay in touch!

the ingredients
1 cup olive oil
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups firmly packed grated carrot (approximately 4 carrots)
1 cup walnuts
Icing:
1 x 250g packet cream cheese, softened
1 cup pure icing sugar
Zest of 1 orange
lets have some fun
Place oil, sugar and eggs in a medium bowl and whisk well to combine. Add flour, bicarb soda, and cinnamon until just combined. Stir in carrots and walnuts, mix well until combined.
Lightly dust a non-stick 2L saucepan with plain flour, pour in the cake mixture.
Place the saucepan on to cook top, cook (lid on and closed) over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until the lid is HOT. Open lid vents and cook for a further 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Invert cake onto a cake cooling rack & allow to cool completely before icing.
To make the icing:
Beat all ingredients together until combined. Spread over cake and serve.
