 Carrot Cake Recipe

Method:

• Set the oven's temperature to 180°C/Gas 4/fan 160°C. An 18 cm square cake pan should be greased and lined with parchment paper. Cutting two long strips the width of the tin and placing each strip crosswise to cover the base and sides of the tin with a double layer at the base is the simplest way to accomplish this.
  
  
• Place the sugar, oil, and eggs in a sizable mixing bowl. Mix briskly using a wooden spoon. Add the raisins, orange rind, and grated carrots after stirring.
  
  
• The flour, baking soda, and spices should be combined before being sifted into the bowl. Mix each ingredient just enough to combine it; once it is combined evenly, stop mixing. It will be a soft, almost runny mixture.
  
  
• When it feels firm and springy when you press it in the center, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. After 5 minutes of cooling in the tin, turn it out, remove the paper, and let it cool on a wire rack. (At this point, the cake can be frozen.)
  
  
• You want the frosting to be about as runny as single cream, so combine the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Place the cake on a serving plate and icing boldly over the top in diagonal lines, letting it drip down the sides.
