Hi! Is this the recipe you’re looking for? It’s from the internet archive, so it’s not going to be pretty, but hopefully it’s what you’re looking for!

I wanted something for breakfast or coffee break , so I made muffins instead. I baked them at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. I did not make the frosting. So delicious without. I added chopped dried apricots and chopped walnuts!

Hello Zoe! I’ve made this cake several times and it’s been a huge success every time! Thank you because I love it and everyone else loves it too. However, the last time I made it was in 2020 and I never printed your recipe. Since then, you’ve made updates but I’d like to find the version that was published in December 2020, is that possible? Or could you tell me what changes you’ve made since then? ♥

April wore me out, so I kept things simple by baking a quarter recipe in a six-inch layer and opting for frosting only. While the cake baked nearly 30 minutes and passed several toothpick tests, there was a tiny bit of sinking in the center. (Inverting the layer hid that, but I’d love to know what the internal temperature for doneness should be so I could test with a probe thermometer.) The frosting was the perfect thickness immediately, and wasn’t cloying with the golden syrup. The cake is really delicious; I agree the orange zest makes all the difference!

Best carrot cake ever! I was brave and made the 4 layer cake and not only was it impressive to look at but it was delicious! So many textures and yet super moist. Absolutely a favorite!

In reply to María Villalba.

I may have commented once before, a couple years ago. Write this recipe down and don’t ever look for another one. Absolutely perfect every time. We have some competitive bakers in my family and after making this cake I got a 10/10 from someone very hard to please. High praise indeed.

This was a fantastic cake – so delicious! Everyone loved it. I used dried, unsweetened pineapple and dried cherries for the fruit, along with just a few raisins and pecans. The cream cheese frosting was also delicious. The Lyles Golden Syrup gave it that extra flavor, not your basic cream cheese frosting.

I’ve decided I need to invest in cake strips because the cake was uneven, and it was hard to trim the tops off due to all the delicious tidbits inside!

Thank you for another great recipe!

I’ve made this twice and both times it got rave reviews. Another Zoe Bakes recipe that is easy-to follow and turns out delicious. I love all her “pro tips.”
