Carrot Cake instructions

1. Grate the carrot..
2. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180C. I wait for this step until I've grated the carrot or it reaches temperature too quickly! Line the tin with baking paper..
3. Combine the grated carrot with the sugar, orange zest, oil, eggs and raisins in a large bowl..
4. Add the flour, bicarb and spices. I always find freshly grated nutmeg gives more flavour..
5. Mix all the ingredients together..
6. Pour into a 18cm square baking tray and bake for roughly 40-45 minutes. The cake should be springy in the centre and a skewer should come out clean..
7. Juice half the orange..
8. Combine the orange juice with roughly 100g icing sugar- add gradually! You're looking for a consistency of double cream to drizzle over the cake.

Carrot Cake - All ovens and bundt pans are different, so that's why the bake time varies. Keep a close eye on it. Got rave reviews, even from non-carrot cake fans. Carrot cake is his favorite and this one his most favorite. I did grease my cake pans, and used parchment paper on the bottom and side then sprayed and floured my pans and the cake came out beautifully. For more flavor, try toasting the nuts and coconut before adding them to the batter. It's important to cool the cakes completely before frosting, otherwise the frosting will just melt right off. Thank you and good luck
