Gluten and dairy free carrot cake

Method

1. Preheat the oven the 160C
2. Grease a cake tin (I use the dairy free spread (such as Vitalite) to grease it). A loaf tin is the perfect size for this cake
3. Put all the cake ingredients (apart from the carrots and walnuts) into a mixing bowl and thoroughly mix together
4. Add the carrots (and walnuts, if using) and thoroughly mix these into the mixture.
5. Pour into the cake tin and bake in the oven for around 1 hour 5 minutes, or until a knife comes away clean when it is pushed through the middle of the cake.
6. Next, make the icing by beating together the dairy free spread, dairy free cream cheese and the icing sugar. Use less icing sugar if you don't want the icing to be too sweet
7. Once the cake is cool you can spread the frosting over the top. Be aware that the dairy free version of this frosting is very runny!
