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.

The kitchen details that make everyday life feel a little easier 🙌🏼

We positioned the dishwasher right beside the drawers where we keep our plates, bowls and cutlery, and honestly… it’s made unloading so much quicker!

It might seem like a small detail when planning your kitchen, but getting the layout right can make such a difference to how your kitchen works day to day.

One to remember if you’re planning a kitchen 👀
