Carrot Cake (with Cream Cheese Icing)

Whoooo. Incredibly moist, and still a little crunch from the crust and the walnuts. Really delicious! A few raisins or chocolate chips would also work well.

We had the cake without icing - I actually don't think it's necessary, the cake is wonderful on it's own (and seriously, for that amount of calories I'd rather have another slice of cake!). I could see serving it with a dollop of Crème Fraîche if you really want to.

Edited 20 August 2013: We made the cake again and added a few raisins - very nice, but that added a lot of moisture so we had to bake the cake quite a while longer. Not a problem, just something you need to take into account. I'm still eager to try a version with added chocolate chips and spices (cardamom, anyone?).
