• Preheat oven to gas mark 3, 325ºF, 170ºC.
• Begin by whisking the sugar, eggs and oil together in a bowl using an electric hand whisk for 2-3 minutes. Then sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the mixed spice into the bowl, tipping in all the bits of bran that are left in the sieve.
• Now stir all this together and then fold in the orange zest, carrots and sultanas.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes, until it is well risen and feels firm and springy to the touch when lightly pressed in the centre.
• While the cake is cooking, make the topping by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl until light and fluffy, then cover with clingfilm and chill for 1-2 hours or until needed.
• Now you need to make the syrup glaze, and to do this whisk together the fruit juices and sugar in a bowl. When the cake comes out of the oven, stab it all over with a skewer and quickly spoon the syrup over as evenly as possible.
• Leave the cake on one side to cool in the tin, during which time the syrup will be absorbed.
• Then, when the cake is completely cold, remove from the tin. spread the topping over, cut into 12 squares and dust with a little more cinnamon.
