Sift the flour and spices into a large bowl, then stir in the brown sugar and grated carrot until
well-mixed.

Using electric mixer or whisk combine the eggs, sour cream and oil until lightly beaten. Add to the
carrot mixture and stir until well combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the
surface.
Bake for 1¼hr, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake. Leave in
the tin for 10mins to cool. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Using electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, orange zest, juice and butter in a small bowl until light
and fluffy. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth. Spread the icing over the cooled cake.
