Time 1h

Yield Makes 6-12

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g carrots , peeled
175g soft brown sugar
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp cinnamon
zest 1 orange
2 eggs
150ml sunflower oil
50g softened butter
75g icing sugar
200g soft cheese
sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Line an 18cm square tin with baking parchment. Ask your grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grate the carrots on the fine side of the grater, then tip them into a large bowl.
  • Sift the sugar, flour, bicarb and cinnamon on top of the carrot, then add the orange zest and mix everything around a bit.
  • Break the eggs into a bowl (scoop out any bits of shell), then add them to the bowl along with the oil. Mix everything together well.
  • Scoop the cake mix into your tin and level the top. Ask a grown-up to put it in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cake is cooked. Cool.
  • To make the icing, mix the butter and icing sugar together, then stir in the soft cheese until smooth.
  • When the cake is cool, spread the top with the icing and cut into squares. Decorate with sprinkles, if you like.
