Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150C/gas 2. Oil and line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper. I just use a silicone one.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl, then add the oil, brown sugar, grated carrot, raisins and chopped nuts.
Sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and bring the mixture together using a wooden or large metal spoon until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, smooth the surface and bake in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for about five minutes before removing.
