You will need:
- 300g golden caster sugar 3 medium eggs
- 300ml sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300g self-raising flour, sieved
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 60g desiccated coconut
- 150g carrot, peeled and grated
- 225g can pineapple in juice, drained and crushed in a blender
FILLING AND DECORATION:
- 500g tub mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 60g caster sugar
- 8 tablespoons lemon curd
- good handful of mini sugared eggs
- 2x20cm round cake tins, lined with baking parchment
1) Set the oven to Gas Mark 5 or 190 C. Put the sugar, eggs, sunflower oil and vanilla into a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer for a few minutes, until pale and well combined.
2) Sieve in the flour and cinnamon. Add the coconut, carrot and pineapple. Gently fold everything together. Divide mixture between the tins. Bake for 30 minutes, until well-risen, golden and shrinking away from the sides of the tin. Turn out on to a wire rack to cool.
3) To make the filling: Put the mascarpone, vanilla and sugar in a bowl and mix together until smooth.
4) Slice each cake in half, horizontally. Put the base of 1 cake on to a cake stand or serving plate, spread with 4 tablespoons lemon curd. Top with another cake and spread with half the flavoured mascarpone. Repeat with the other 2 layers of cake and arrange the sugared eggs on top.
Tip from the kitchen: The sugared Easter eggs tend to soften and the colours run, so pop them on the cake just before serving.
