This recipe uses liquid measures, so measure out the flour first in a measuring jug, then the oil and then the honey.  By doing the oil before the honey, you avoid the honey sticking to the jug.  Use organic ingredients where possible.

125ml( 4 fl oz) sunflower oil

100ml (3.5 fl oz) clear honey

2 eggs

225g (8oz) carrots

100g (4oz) raisins

½ tsp baking powder

450 ml (1 ¼ pt) wholemeal flour

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp grated nutmeg

¼ tsp ground mixed spice

 

Preheat the oven to gas mark 3/170ºC/325ºF.  Grease a 450g (1lb) loaf tin.

Beat the oil, honey and eggs together until smooth.  Add the carrots and raisins and combine gently.  Fold in the baking powder, flour and spices.  Spoon into the loaf tin and bake for 1 ¼ hours.  Leave to cool before removing from the tin.
