Carrot Apple Cake


2 grated apples;
juice of half a lemon;
150g sugar;
1/2 tsp baking powder;
pinch of salt;
1/3 cup of dried cranberries ;
9 tbsp of oil
For the cream cheese frosting:
1 package of cream cheese, room temperature;
1 cup of icing sugar;
1 tsp vanilla extract
                                             1/2 cup of mixed chopped nuts to decorate


What to do:
Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Mix all the ingredients.
Divide the mixture between two cake tins and gently spread out with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before turning on to a wire rack to cool.
Mix cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together until very smooth.
Either spread on with a blunt knife or spatula, or spoon into a piping bag.
Coating the sides of your cake with chopped nuts is a great way to conceal a not-so-perfect frosting job.
Gently pat the chopped nuts into the frosting.
My friend gave me this recipe and i love it!
