Superfood Carrot Cake Loaf

I just love a good loaf cake, especially when it’s good for me! Cuppa tea, nice chunky slice…. Perfect way to end the working day, or as a pick me up elevenses on a Saturday, oh and not to forget a Sunday afternoon movie accompaniment. OK, basically any time works for me.
Made with health-boosting rapeseed oil, theres no butter in sight and due to the brilliance of agave syrup, there’s no refined sugar either. In fact really this is just fruit, seeds and carrot. But man does it taste good. Oh and did you know carrots are full of a little miracle worker called Luteolin which has been found to prevent memory loss and depression too! I know! Healing and stuffing your face full of cake, great right?!
