I make an ordinary cake mix and add 3-4 largish grated carrots!. i!.e!.
1lb s/r flour
8oz butter/Stork
8oz granulated Sugar
3 eggs
carrots!.

Rub the stork into the flour until it resembles bread-crumbs!.
Add the sugar and carrots and mix well
Add the eggs, one at a time and mix in with 2 forks until you have a soft dropping consistency!. If it's a bit dry, add a drop of mile!. Take care as you can always add more but not take any out!.
Put into a greased/floured baking tin and put in at gas mark 4 for about 1 hour!. Test with a skewer or knife, if it comes out clean, the cake is done!. also to test, you can tap the bottom of the tin with your hand and if it sounds hollow, it's done!. Remove from oven and let it stand for 1/2hr before taking it out the tin!. Stand on a cake wire to cool!.
