Herman the Carrot Cake

This is a recipe variation based on Stephanie Alexander's Carrot Cake recipe from the cook's companion. I've not asked so I'm not going to publish that recipe - the book is well worth the price.

The variation is to add the starter from the Herman the German Friendship Cake and vary some of the other ingredients a bit to take that into account.

Ingredients

• As per the recipe in Stephanie's cook book
• Increase the amount of self raising flour from 125g to 175g
• Reduce the number of eggs from 2 to 1
• Add one quantity (ie 350-400g) of Herman starter

Preparation

1. As per the recipe in Stephanie's cook book
2. Add Herman starter with other wet ingredients
3. Same cooking time as the recipe in Stephanie's cook book
