4 medium eggs
175g light muscovado unrefined cane sugar
160ml sunflower oil
200g self-raising flour
300g purple carrots, grated
1tsp mixed spice
100g flaked almonds
25g Turkish raisins
grated zest of 1 orange

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and grease a loaf tin, then line with baking paper.

Now mix the eggs and sugar in a large bowl, whisking until thick and creamy, then gradually add in the sunflower oil. Sieve the flour into the mixture and gently blend together. Add the rest of the ingredients.

Finally, pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until firm to touch and golden brown.

For a luxurious finishing touch, ice it with cream cheese mixed with a little icing sugar once cool.

Striking and delicious, purple carrots will make a wonderful change, not only for their glorious colour but also their incredible flavour. Find out why our purple carrots aren’t such a novelty food…

Taste: These refreshingly sweet and juicy purple carrots are famous for their striking colour and high nutritional value. They are full of vitamins and fibre, and beautiful too with an orange heart gradually fading into deep purple.

Region: Long before the 17th century, when Dutch growers selected the orange carrot line to celebrate their national colour, the purple carrot existed across Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Ours come from France, where the fertile soil conveys all its nutrients to this amazing carrot.

Quality: We only source the finest grade available on the market. Our purple carrots are fresh and juicy. Our buyers only select what is looking and tasting best!
