Baking is like doing chemistry. Every item involved will affect each other according to its weight and value. So measuring in precision is important, as well as the temperature of your oven and the baking time. Bicarbonate of soda - because this is a dense cake mixture, it needs a little extra help to rise (even though we are using self-raising flour) and the bicarb provides the extra help it needs. If you need to freeze the cake, you can put the cake in a tight-lid container and store the container in a freezer. It keeps well for about 2 months. Self-raising flour - if you don't have self-raising flour you can use plain flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder for each cup (140g). If I could describe a cake as 'juicy' then this is how I would describe this carrot and walnut cake. The texture is moist and crumbly all at the same time.Note - when omitting any of these ingredients, try to keep to the stated amounts by increasing the other ingredients. For example, if you omit the coconut, add either an additional ¼ cup of carrots, sultanas or walnuts (or a mixture of all three). This coffee walnut cake will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days, but I doubt it will last you that long. Need more recipe inspiration?

Grease and line the base of a shallow 29cm x 19 cm oblong tin (or 9x13in). It should be at least 2cm (1inch) deep. Before building the tray, you’ll need to make a table-saw sled and a custom jig to help space out the identical cuts that make the box joints fit snugly together. You’ll also need a template for the handled sides. Once the tray is complete, you’ll want to sand the joints flush and ease the edges along the sides. After that, there are lots of finish options to protect the wood; Tom used mineral oil, but any food-safe wax or oil will work. Many food-safe oil finishes include beeswax, which gives the oil more body, extends the time between applications, and adds a nice floral aroma to the finish. What I love about this recipe is the easy and simple method that doesn’t take much time. It took me about 10 minutes to make the batter and another 5 minutes to whip the coffee buttercream. Because it is baked in a traybake (Americans call it a sheet cake) tin, there's no fussy layering involved. Simply bake one giant butter cake layer, slather it with delicious homemade coffee frosting and top with crunchy walnuts. It is delectable and easy.Pour into the prepared baking tray (image 2 above). You can use 2 x 9" round cake tins instead of the oblong tray if you prefer. Sultanas - I love how the sultanas plump up and add another element of juiciness to the cake. You can use currents or raising, or even swap the sultanas out for diced glace cherries. Eggs - you need 3 large eggs. If your eggs are on the small size then either use 4 eggs or increase the amount of milk slightly.
