Ingredients & Nutritional Info
Method
1. You'll need a 20cm round cake tin, greased and lined and preheat the oven to 180C / Gas mark 4.
2. In a large bowl place the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, pecans, carrots, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice. In another place the mashed banana, eggs, orange zest and Yorkshire rapeseed oil in another.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together well.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 50-60 minutes.
5. Test when baked by inserting a skewer - if it comes out clean, it's cooked. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove and cool on a wire rack.
6. For the topping, place the mascarpone cheese, vanilla seeds (removed from the pod) and icing sugar in a bowl and top the cake with it once completely cooled and decorate with the whole pecans.
