For the carrot cake everyone will love, just...

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160° Fan, 350°F, Gas 4 - while it heats up, whisk the oil and Lyle's Golden Syrup together and then beat in the eggs.

Step 2

Sift over the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and lightly fold in until smooth - then stir in the carrots, walnuts, raisins and orange zest.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a 23cm lined or greased loaf tin or a traybake. Bake on the middle shelf for 55-60 minutes (or until golden brown and a fine skewer comes out clean when poked in the middle).

Step 4

Leave for 30 minutes in the tin, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Step 5

Sift the Icing Sugar into a bowl and stir in the Lyle's Golden Syrup and orange juice to make a slightly thickened icing. Pour over the cake and scatter with the walnuts. When set, lightly dust with a little more Icing Sugar - and you're done.
