Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/ Gas 4). Whisk together the sugar & oil, then whisk in the eggs.
Step 2: Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg & bicarbonate of soda. Fold this into the mixture using a wooden spoon.
Step 3: Stir in the carrots and raisins and combine thoroughly.
Step 4: Tip equal quantities of the mixture into parchment lined1lb loaf tins and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30-40 mins, or until well risen and firm to the touch.
Step 5: Place the tin on a wire rack to cool for 30mins, then carefully invert the cakes on the wire rack to cool completely.
Topping Suggestion: To make the frosting, sift the icing sugar into a bowl then add lemon juice and beat until smooth. Pour over the cooled cakes and allow to drizzle down the sides.
