Banana Carrot Cake

I referred to Mama Doroschs' Carrot Cake recipe, but it is too sweet for my liking so I reduced the sugar amount.

Banana Carrot Cake

1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 medium-sized ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt
1-1/2 cups grated carrots, packed
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup raisins

Icing
8oz cream cheese, well softened
4 tbsp butter, well softened

1. Cake: Preheat the oven at 180 C with a rack in the middle position. Grease and flour a cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and oil. Add in the mashed bananas.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until well incorporated.
5. Fold in the carrots, walnuts and raisins.
