The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

Here is the one of the best Carrot cake recipes that I have heard, and here is how to make it.

What you will need:
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 cup sugar
1½ cups grated carrot, lightly packed
1 cup sultanas or mixed dried fruit
¼ cup chopped walnuts
¾ cup olive oil
2 eggs
Cream cheese icing (optional)

What you will need to do:
​Preheat the oven to 180ºC or 356.F
Lightly grease a 20cm square tin and line the base and two sides with baking paper. Or use a 20 cm ring tin, lightly greased and dusted with flour.
Put the flour, baking soda and spices in a bowl and mix them thoroughly.
A whisk is a good implement for this.
Add the sugar, grated carrot, fruit and the walnuts and mix again.
With a fork, beat together the oil and the eggs and tip them onto the other ingredients.
Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared tin.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
Wait until cool then spread icing on top.
