CARROT, ZUCCHINI & WALNUT CAKE WITH FUDGE ICING
An elegant and deliciously moist cake ideally made in a bundt pan; or if you don't have a bundt pan, use a 22cm-base pan. I found this recipe in the October 2005 edition of the cooking magazine 'Australian Good Taste' and I have posted it here for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the 15 minutes cooling time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ÂșC, brush a 2 litre (8-cup) capacity bundt pan with melted butter to lightly grease, dust with flour and shake off any excess.
- Use the grater attachment on your food processor to finely grate the carrot and zucchini, place the carrot-zucchini mixture in a clean tea towl and squeeze out all excess moisture, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Place the walnuts in the clean bowl of the food processor and process until finely chopped. Add to the carrot mixture.
- Place the egg, sugar,oil and orange rind and juice in the bowl of the food processor and process until light and frothy. Sift over the flour and cinnamon and process until just combined. Add to the carrot mixture and use a large metal spoon to gently fold until just combined. Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly before turning onto a wire rack.
- Fudge Icing: Meanwhile, to make the fudge icing, place the sugar, butter and cream in a medium saucepan over a medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until the butter melts. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until the fudge thickens slightly. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla and stir to combine. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
- To Serve: Transfer the cake to a serving plate and drizzle with fudge icing.

Steps:
- Butter a shallow 1 1/2-cup bowl and set aside. In a 2 1/2-quart microwave-proof dish, combine the carrots, cream and coloring, if desired. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt microwave carousel oven for 25 minutes, or until the cream reduces to a thick sauce and coats the carrot shreds. Stir 3 times during the cooking time.
- Remove from the oven, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the sugar, cardamom, raisins, pistachios and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Mix well. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture is the consistency of tapioca pudding and there is no longer any bubbling liquid. Stir once during the cooking time. Remove from the oven.
- Transfer the fudge into the buttered bowl and pack it in evenly. Place a serving plate upside down over the bowl. Holding both the plate and bowl securely, invert the bowl over the plate so that the fudge slides onto the plate. Decorate the fudge with the remaining almonds and serve.
