I'm going to rewrite the recipe to weigh the amount of carrots as I use as I do it by eye, but I think if it's overmoist is can be due to the amount of carrot in the cake.

I find it you use anything other than oil it can be too dry, but you could certainly try half and half. In fact...I will try half and half and let you know

Glad you're enjoying it though...losinf almost 2 stone in the last 2 months...I've only made it once and only had one little slice...lol

Inspired by the Pennine massive "probably the least skilled trail riders in the world" thread... any ideas for some flapjack?

Needs to be nutritional and tasty to help unfit beer swillers like me get up hills I have no business going near without an engine!

Welsh cakes are best for that Chris. Not at all healthy but so good for quick release energy that I made them on order of the trainers and nutritionsts for both the RFU England team back when Lolly Dallaglio was still captain and also Glos and Bristol rugby. I'll post that and a flapjack recipe as soon as I get a chance. X

Tweaked the recipe a little tonight and took out the guess work with the carrots. I think it is slightly better than the original for texture, the flavour hasn't changed.

Looks amazing GG! Well done and thanks for sharing your recipe!
