Tested

"I have made this cake lots of times and it never fails. Everyone raves about it and thinks i must be some kind of nigella in the kitchen to make something that is good every single time! It is very easy to make and even the pain of having to grate all that carrot is well worth the effort. I work in a factory which has an excellent canteen and the two chefs who work here are very critical of other peoples work and they both have tried and loved this cake - praise indeed. My only comment would be that the icing ins't exactly easy to drizzle and i usually just end up spreading it all over the cake and finishing with a sprinkle of lemon zest but it's still great. "
