How to make Carrot cake

1) Preheat oven to 190C/Gas 5. Butter a 23cm by 33-cm sheet pan or 2 (20cm) round pans.

2) In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt. Using a hand mixer, stream in the oil and then beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in the carrots until well combined.

3) Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a cocktail stick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans. Slice, as desired, and serve.
