Try this version of carrot cake made using olive oil and honey. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and enjoy with a cuppa.
1 Heat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 and line a 1kg loaf tin with baking paper.
2 In a large bowl, mix together the grated carrot, almonds, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, eggs, orange zest and juice, olive oil, currants, the honey and 2/3 cup of the yoghurt until combined.
3 Pour the cake batter into the prepared tin, then bake for 1 hr–1 hr 10 min until the cake is golden and a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean.
4 Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool in the tin. When cool, cut the cake into 12 slices and serve each with a dollop of nutty yogurt made by putting the remaining yoghurt in a small bowl, sprinkling with the pistachios and drizzling with the 2 tablespoons honey.

Delicious.
Served this as a dessert at a dinner party and was repeatedly asked where I had found this decadent recipe.
No-one had any inkling it was a healthy, low sugar, lowfat recipe,
Can you freeze it?
Hi there
Yes, this freezes well. Just don’t freeze the yoghurt you serve it with.
Warm regards
