About

Sometimes it is the simplest things in life that give us the most pleasure. Delicious with a cup of tea, this cake is a little lighter in texture than a traditional carrot cake and is an absolute breeze to make. The spices and zest are the perfect match for sweet carrots and bitter walnuts.

Ingredients

3 eggs
250 g (9 oz) brown sugar
200

Method

Preheat the oven to 165°C (330°F). Spray a 28 x 13 x 6.5 cm (11 x 5 x 2½ in) loaf (bar) tin with canola oil and line with a strip of baking paper to cover the length of the tin, plus overlap of a couple of centimetres (about an inch) either side. Spray the paper with canola oil.
