• 180ml oil
• 250g brown sugar
• 15g baking powder
• 250g gluten-free flour, sifted
• 3 organic eggs
• 3-4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced.
• Butter, to grease the tin
• 1 cup Manner cake glaze

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top and bottom heat). Grease the baking tin. In a bowl, put the sliced carrots, 3 organic eggs, 250g sugar and 180ml oil. Mix well. Mix the flour and baking powder. Pour the carrot mixture into a bowl, sift in the flour and baking powder mixture and then mix until smooth. Pour into the cake tin (24cm) and bake for about 40-45min. Before you start with the icing, the cake must cool down. Now remove the cake from the tin.
