What you'll need
- 225g of self-raising flour
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tsp of cinnamon
- 175g of caster sugar
- 225g of sunflower oil
- 4 medium eggs
- 175g of grated carrot
- 125g of chopped walnuts
Makes
What to do:
- Preheat your oven to 180C first of all. While that’s warming up, grease and line a loaf tin (or use silicon one).
- Sift the flour, salt and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, then beat in oil and one egg at a time. Once all the eggs are in, add the grated carrot and chopped walnuts – stirring well (the batter should be quite sloppy).
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for about 1 hour until well risen and skewer comes out clean.
- Then turn it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool.
- Some people like to add a cream cheese topping, but it’s easier to store and transport for picnics without – plus it still tastes fab.

When planting tomatoes in growbags, insert a 1ltr plastic flowerpot with the base cut off in the planting hole and plant through it. This makes watering so much easier - just top the pot up.
