Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease an 18cm x 28cm slice pan and line the base and 2 long sides with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang.

  2. Step 2

    Place the combined flour, rice cereal, mixed spice and sugar in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the carrot, egg and oil and stir until just combined.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Set aside in the pan to cool.

  4. Step 4

    To make the lemon icing, place the butter and icing sugar in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Stir in enough lemon juice to make a spreadable paste.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the cake to a board. Spread the top of the cake with lemon icing. Cut into pieces.
