This is a great cake, that's easy to make, tasty and pretty healthy
Place carrots, raisins, water, vegetable oil, golden syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice in a pan, and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely (good to do the day before)
When cool add flour and walnuts.
Mix all together well, and pour into a well buttered cake tin (or 2 cake tins)
Bake at 180 degrees for 45 mins to an hour. (If putting into 2 tins, they need less baking time). To test if cooked, poke with a stick of raw spaghetti, and if it comes out clean without cake batter on it, it is ready. Or just give it a push with your finger, if it bounces back, it's ready.
Beat remaining ingredients together well, and ice cake with it.
