Carrot slice

Makes 12 bars

Ingredients
* 3/4 cup (165g) raw sugar
* 175ml sunflower oil
* 3 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 large carrot (about 140g), grated
* 100g raisins
* Grated zest of 1 large orange
* 175g self-raising flour
* 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
* 1/3 cup (55g) icing sugar (to ice, optional)


Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base and sides of a 28cm x 18cm slice pan.
2. Use a wooden spoon to mix the sugar, oil and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the carrot, raisins and zest. Sift in flour, soda and spices. Stir to just combine, then pour into the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
3. If making icing, sift icing sugar into a bowl and stir with 1-2 teaspoons warm water to form a smooth, soft icing. Drizzle over slice with a teaspoon, then leave to set for 10 minutes. Alternatively, dust with 2 tbs sifted icing sugar. Cut into 12 bars.

Notes & tips
* Store for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
