Preheat the oven to 190°C. Grease and line 12.5cm square cake tin.
02
Grate the carrots.

Whisk the free range eggs and organic caster sugar together until thick and creamy.
04
Whisk in the oil- slowly - then add remaining ingredients.
05
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until firm but still moist. Use a wooden skewer to test this.
