Super Simple Carrot Cake!

For all of you that couldn't understand my awful hand writing (still getting to grips with my new chalk board!) then here are the ingredients to make the cake all nicely typed!

2 Free Range Large Eggs

200g Soft Light Brown Sugar

175g Self Raising Flour

150 ml Sun Flower Oil

300g Peeled and grated carrots

1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

1 tsp Mixed spice

1 tsp Cinnamon 

A pinch of salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 130 degrees fan/ gas 2.
First mix the eggs, oil, sugar and carrots in to one big bowl until well combined. Then sift in the remaining dry ingredients mix again! Now line your loaf tin with tin foil and spoon the mixture in. Pop it into the oven for 1hr 15 mins, or as long as it takes for a skewer to come out clean when inserted into the cake (see, super simple!!)

Once the cake is out of the oven it has to be left to cool for roughly 20 mins. So meanwhile you can start on the Icing!

For the yummy Icing you will need:

100g cream cheese

200g Icing sugar

The zest of 1 orange

Instructions
Sift the icing sugar in to a bowl with the cream cheese and then add the zest. Mix with a wooden spoon until everything is fully combined!

Now every thing is cooled and ready to go, you can spoon the icing on to the cake ( I just used the back of my spoon to evenly spread the icing around the cake.) I then took a little bit more grated carrot and arranged it in to a rough carrot shape and used some fresh rosemary as the leaves.
The extent of my cake decorating abilities...

So to sum up! If you want a super simple, super moist and just over all super delicious carrot cake... Then Why not give it a try and tell me what you think?
Dad said it was, "Bloomin' Gorgeous!" and I think thats all you really need to know!

Crush of the Month - Angelina Jolie

Oh, Angelina, where to start?!
Not only is she an extremely talented and driven actress, she also dedicates lots of her time to helping those less fortunate; such as setting up the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, along side husband Brad Pitt and of course, lets not forget the fact that she has the most perfectly proportioned features and the most incredible bone structure that I have ever seen...Ever....

5 Random Facts

1. Angelina and husband Brad Pitt, fell in love on the set of the film Mr and Mrs Smith.
2. Jolie and Pitt have 6 children, 3 of which where adopted.
3. She has also starred in many music videos with artists and bands such as: the Rolling Stones, Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz.
4. She is a qualified private Pilot.
5. And you thought Angelina couldn't get any cooler... Approximately 80% of the stunts that Laura Croft does in Tomb Raider were done by Angelina her self.

Who's your current 'crush'?

Day 2 - Paddling In Jeans...

Yup thats right, I went "paddling" in my jeans and ended up getting absolutely soaked... Then I decided it would be a great idea to play frisbee on the sand and by the end of the game my legs could have quite honestly been used as human sand paper....
Sorry for the not so great pictures on this post but I didn't get a chance to take very many as it ended up being quite a busy day!
If you want to see some photos from day one (there are chocolate covered waffles involved...Oh yeah, get excited!) click here! and for my seaside makeup bag click here!

Have a lovely weekend!

Seaside Trip Day 1 - Waffle Excess!

Firstly, yes, those waffles really were as good as they look (especially the chocolatey one!) Secondly, for the past 2 days I've been off school curled up on my sofa watching an unhealthy amount of Ugly Betty and feeling very sorry for my self... But I managed to prise myself away from Netflix to show you a couple of pictures from my short trip to Ramsgate. If you want to see what makeup I took with me I wrote a post here!
Day 2 will be up tomorrow!
