Add the grated carrots, the raisins, sieve in the flour and spice mix and fold it all in with a spatula.

- Using a spoon, drizzle over the top of the cake, letting the ganache dribble over the sides as well. Serve with cream! clotted cream! custard! whipped cream! warm vanilla sauce! caramel sauce! And it’s lovely on its own, too.
