Bubonic Birthday Carrot Cake


This is a carrot cake with a story to tell.... Luis made me this cake for my birthday.

After an exasperating afternoon, in which he went four times to the shops to get ingredients, Luis accidentally mistook the black food colouring for vanilla essence, and hence the bubonic carrot cake was born. This is a really good recipe if you like dense cakes like me. In fact, despite it being a rather unappetising colour, the cake went down very well at the party.

The recipe is adapted from the CakeBaker website, the only difference being Luis used butter instead of oil because he didn't think it looked very nice, and of course the food colouring.
