  3. Mix the self raising flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.

  4. Carefully pour in the egg and oil mixture and beat well into the dry ingredients. Add in the raisins and grated carrot. Mix together until you have a smooth mixture.

  5. Scoop the cake mixture into a greased cake tin. You can use a spatula to make sure it鈥檚 level.

  6. Put the cake mixture into the oven and bake for 35 minutes.

  7. Ask your grown-up helper to take the cake out of the oven, as the oven will be hot, hot, hot. Place it onto a cooling rack. Once it is cool to touch, you can remove the cake tin. You want to make sure your cake is properly cool before icing.

First fold a piece of paper or card in half and carefully cut out half a carrot shape, open it up and you have a carrot template. Put the template over the cake and sprinkle the leftover cinnamon through it.

  11. Finish it off with a border of raisins and a lovely ribbon. This will make the cake look just like a carrot medal!
