I would say that is correct, this cake is quite a dense one so it needs a bit of help to rise. I made a carrot cake last week and my recipe called for baking powder and bicarb of soda which act as rising agents in a cake (I think). Do it I am sure it will be delicious

It does seem like a lot of baking powder though compared to other carrot, almond & orange cakes I googled.  Perhaps send Trudy a pm and get it confirmed passionflower.

WHY OH WHY? do I skim read all the time I wonder? I read that as tsp the first time round not tbs. And 3 tsp would be right for one cake, sorry fundj.

On the original thread is the best place but in this instance probably better to put it in both. I'm sure Trudy will amend her quantity of baking powder when she reads these comments.

The verdict is in 5/5 .super moist and easy. It’s a keeper.

Next time will use flaked almonds instead of chopped ones
I managed to save a tiny piece to freeze (i like to test most things i make)

My orange was 310 grams
I only had 2 teaspoons baking powder so i added 1teaspoon of bi carb soda
I chopped the carrots in the bowl 1st the added the orange
Keep an eye on the speed and time, for me some to high and long or 2 low
I used 20 cm round cake tin
I used chopped almond
Make sure you leave a overhang with the baking paper or use a springform pan

ciao
