Microwave Carrot Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    325 ml white sugar
    250 ml oil
    5 ml vanilla
    3 eggs
    300 ml all-purpose flour
    75 ml whole wheat flour
    2 ml salt
    7 ml baking soda
    15 ml cinnamon
    175 ml coarsely chopped nuts
    625 ml grated carrots
    Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
    125 g cream cheese
    45 ml softened butter
    250 ml powdered fruit sugar or 250 ml icing sugar
    2 ml cinnamon
Preparation
    In a large bowl, blend sugar, oil and vanilla.
    Add eggs and beat well.
    In small bowl mix flours, salt, soda, cinnamon and cloves.
    Stir in nuts.
    Stir dry ingredients into wet.
    Fold in carrots.
    Turn into 3 liter microwaveable bundt pan.
    Microwave 10 minutes, rotating dish 1/4 turn every 4 minutes.
    (Note exact cooking time will depend on power of oven. I find more like 11 minutes is required. Top may appear slightly raw but will continue to cook as heat works its way out from the inside of the cake.) Let stand 10 minutes on heat proof surface.
    Loosen sides and centre.
    Invert on serving plate and cool.
    Frost or ice with Cinnamon Cream Cheese frosting (icing).
    Frosting: In small bowl, cream butter and cheese.
    Blend in sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy.
    Spread over carrot cake.
