Airfryer CARROT cake | very near DISASTER! | Ninja AF451 and Cosori Dual Blaze

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!
Hope you all had a good one. I had lots (and I mean lots) of carrots left over from the christmas shop (15p for 1kg!!) so what better than to try my first Carrot cake in the Airfryers, one for the day and one for the freezer.
Near disaster with the tops but saved in the end because the tops were being trimmed anyway. 👇Recipe below👇
Massive thank you to Ricky in Ayr for your lovely gifts, I absolutely love them🥰
and MASSIVE thank you to Jim and Maureen Clack and Jacqueline Buist for your Superthanks, it is very much appreciated and you are all so lovely for your continued friendship and support of the channel.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching...

Recipe:
260g Plain flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 1/2 tsp gr, cinnamon
295ml vegetable oil
200g Granulated sugar
190g light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
300g grated carrots
100g coarsely chopped nuts
60g raisins
Frosting:
200g soft cream cheese
140g Icing sugar
80ml fresh double cream
50g coarsely chopped walnuts/pecans
BAKE setting 180c/350f for 35 mins, I added significant amount of minutes so maybe better to try BAKE 160c/320f for 45-50mins - keep an eye near end of cooking time and if the tops go a bit burnt! you will be trimming them off to create a flat surface for the frosting.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars and vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl before adding the flour mixture a bit at a time, folding in thoroughly. Stir in the nuts, raisins and carrots. Divide between pre-prepared baking tins. Bake until a toothpick or the like, comes out clean (see below for times etc)
Frosting: mix the soft cream cheese (room temp) icing sugar and double cream until smooth, set aside until cakes are completely cool.
Once cakes are completely cool, trim the domed tops to create a flat surface for the frosting. Apply frosting to middle and top. Sprinkle the coarsely chopped nuts onto the top. ENJOY

Thank you so much for the mention Kerry,I'm glad you liked what I sent you,if you want to give the mug to your dad please go ahead as I know he will love it,the cakes look amazing,hope you have a happy and healthy 2024 and thank you for all the great enjoyable and informative videos you gave us last year and I look forward to all this years content Xx

[@quietspacearts]

i tend to cover the cake after 25mins to stop it over browning but it will cook better too if you use foil on top like a lid, try a lemon cake sponge with frosting made from cream cheese and lemon curd and no icing sugar its so lush i made myself for my partner.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh my gosh your lemon cake sounds delish, will definitely try that and will cover after 25mins just as you suggest, thanks for that😀👍💕💕

[@janishayes7366]

I bought the Broons every year it was out, as MY treat. Had them since starting to read, being half Scottish. HNY Kerry x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ah like me Janis, I've still got all my childhood annuals. Christmas present from my dad every year, was finished by the end of the day lol. My boys have read them as well, absolutely love them🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰 Happy New Year to you and yours 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@trowbridgeist]

❤Happy New 2024 ❤ Hi Dear Kerry , yes I got plenty of the carrots 😊for 15 p bag for Christmas present for the Horses and pony’s , I made carrots cake last week it my favourite ❤️ and they say carrots are good for your eyes 👀 Xxx

[@cocobunjee6676]

Hi Kerry. Before you put your cakes in the oven, try making a 'well' in the centre of each cake. That way they won't rise so much in the middle. That's what I was taught, and it mostly works.

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

That's what i do but i think the air fryer draws the mixture up

[@budgetcookinguk]

Will definitely give that a go thank you😀👍💕💕

[@marierogers61]

Watched you for a while, you were so nervous to start but now you are really good and I enjoy your recipes. X

Good to have your tasty treats back not so good for the waistline but who cares. Look forward to more expanding waistline recipes in the new year Kerry.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Julie👋😀💕💕

[@karentoynton8948]

You could always use the top of the cake as your base once you have levelled it up. Then you get a perfect top. I bet it tastes nice. Maybe like someone else said a piece of foil on the top will prevent it browning., maybe this is due to being very near to the element as it rises. Xxx

Thanks Kerry from Australia. We love carrot cake, but so much sugar. OOh my teeth were feeling all funny at the thought of it. I only use 2 tablespoons of demerara and find that sweet enough. Otherwise the recipe is great.

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

Afternoon Kerry, you are more than welcome, and you didn't have to get a replacement bag sent, but thank you so much. I absolutely loved your apron, and that mug looked brilliant. Wow, those carrot cakes looked amazing. I would have eaten the tops of those cakes myself 😂😂. I always find cakes in the a/f that aren't a plain sponge always require that bit longer cooking time. Harrison said, "He had a brilliant Christmas, thank you." I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Xxxx Jac 💚 ♥️

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww that's lovely Jacs🥰🥰 so glad Harrison had a great Christmas bless him🥰 really wanted you walking about with a plot25 bag, the ones in black no good at all but I'm glad we realised before anyone else bought them, cream canvas cotton soooo much better lol. I saved the tops😋😋😋 boys loved it. I love that apron lol, lovely gifts from Ricky. Had a lovely Christmas thanks Jacs, house was full with family and we had a really good new year too, lost the 1st of jan lol🤪

[@jacquelinebuist1128]

@budgetcookinguk I've still been using the black bag, but that was me thinking I was doing a good thing getting a black one so that the print would stand out and it wouldn't get as dirty 🙄🙈. I thought you might have saved the tops. They would be delicious crumbled over some ice cream 😋😋. Great gifts from Ricky. Awwww, Christmas isn't Christmas without a house full, haha. we had a full house on boxing day 10 for dinner and 3 dogs into the bargain🤣. Christmas Dinner, boxing day dinner, and steak pie dinner for New Year's Day, all made in the air fryers. The trick of "baking" the potatoes, then removing the skin, and then "roasting" them in beef dripping was a game changer for boxing day. The days all merge into one when it's Christmas 😂. Ohhh, I couldn't miss 1st Jan as I would want to sacrifice my steak pie haha, it always tastes nicer at New Year for some reason 😋. Anyway, I've talked enough, haha. See you on the other side. Xxxxx Jac 💚 ♥️

[@j.brewer7717]

Hi Kerry, happy New Year to you and your family. I did the same as you buying extra carrots, roasted & froze. A big thank you for all your tips, recipes leading up to Christmas. My son-in-law is a chef and couldn't get enough of sausage/stuffing, brie & cranberry. They were so tasty and went down a storm. Will need to make double next time😂 My go to cake is carrot but haven't done one yet in the af. That's about to change. I was shouting, cut me a slice😋 it looked so delicious. I'm sure it didn't hang around for long. You made our Christmas so much easier by having so much prepared, which left more time for the fun things😁 Hope yours went well, thank you my lovely. Byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh Jen that's so lovely to hear, there was nothing worse than being stuck in the kitchen peeling a ton of potatoes while everyone else was enjoying xmassy things together. So glad your son-in-law loved the sausage/brie n cranberry combo esp as he is a chef!! We had a lovely time thank you Jen, wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year 🥰🥰🥰

[@heatherpiper1448]

Hj Kerry I was a few weeks ago thought about a carrot cake,but my son has strong opinion about having veg in a cake. I thought it was a bit too much for just me. So it was lovely to see you making one. Happy New year

Hi Kerry, the cake looked very tasty, i don't like walnuts so would have gone with the pecans. Could you not have cooked it at 160 degrees which is 180 in a fan oven. Your gifts looked amazing especially the cookery book. Did you used to get Xmas albums for kids with the broons in, i'm sure i had one when i was a child
