Roughly chop the nuts, dried apricots and grate the carrot.
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the caster sugar and the rest of the dry ingredients.
Beat the eggs and combine with the sunflower oil.
Slowly add the eggs and oil to the dry ingredients and mix well. Cooks tip – it should be wet enough to just fall off the spoon when tapped.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake at 160C for around 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 30 minutes. When cool, mix together 30g of icing sugar with 1 tablespoon of orange juice and drizzle over the top.

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND

When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.

“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.

Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.

Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
