Method
1

Preheat the oven to 140°C/285°F

2

Grease a loaf tin using oil and line with greaseproof paper.

3

Mix the eggs, carrots, oil, sugar and sultanas/raisins in a large bowl.

4

Next sieve in the flour and add the baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract and walnuts. Mix well.

5

Put the mixture in the lined tin and bake in the oven for 1 hour or until a skewer/knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

6

Let it cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before removing and leaving to cool fully on a wire rack.

7

For the frosting, mix the cream cheese and butter together. Add the orange zest, icing sugar and vanilla extract and combine well. Spread the icing over the top of the cake – make sure it is fully cooled as the icing will slide off otherwise.

8

Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.

9

Cut into slices and enjoy!
