150g light brown sugar

125g sultanas

150g carrot peels and grated carrot

1 grated orange rind

375g icing sugar

1tsp vanilla extract


Method

Preheat your oven to 150˚C

Line a 15cm round cake tin with a double layer of baking paper

Beat eggs with the oil

Stir in sugar, sultanas, carrots and rind

Add all of your dry ingredients and stir well

Pour into tin, flatten top and bake for 1 hour
