Ingredients

Cooking spray

80g light margarine, at room temperature

80g (½ cup, lightly packed) brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 carrots, finely grated

160g (1 cup) wholemeal self-raising flour

75g (½ cup) self-raising flour

1½ tsp mixed spice

2 x 50g eggs, lightly whisked

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange

60ml (¼ cup) low-fat milk

Extra orange zest, to serve

 

Cream cheese icing:

125g extra-light cream cheese

¼ tsp finely grated orange zest

3 tsp freshly squeezed orange juice

2 Tbsp Equal Spoonful

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Spray a 16cm x 26cm (base measurement) slice tin with cooking spray. Line base and sides with baking paper, allowing paper to overhang sides.

  2. Using a wooden spoon, mix margarine, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in carrot. Add flours, mixed spice, egg, orange zest and juice, and milk. Mix until well combined.

  3. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

  4. Set aside in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. To make cream cheese icing, whisk cream cheese, orange zest and juice, and Equal Spoonful in a small bowl.
