Cooking Time
25-45 mins
Ingredients
- 150g vegetable oil
- 175g self-raising flour
- 0.5tsp ground cinnamon
- nutmeg for grating
- 200g light brown soft sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 100g pecans
- 150g carrots
- 50g raisins
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 160C.
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, and a good grating of nutmeg in a bowl. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Fold in most of the chopped pecans (reserving some for decoration), the carrots, and raisins.
- Pour the mixture into a 20cm cake tin or 1 litre loaf tin that fits in your air fryer.
- Cook in the air fryer at 160C for 25-45 mins, checking after 15 mins. If the top browns too much, cover with foil.
- Check the cake is cooked by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 15 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread the icing over the top and decorate with remaining pecans.
