Tested

"Tried this today, very happy with the way it turned out. I adapted the recipe slightly - I added a couple of teaspoons of Caraway seeds and less nutmeg, I also substituted candied orange peel for half the raisins. Texture was bang-on but next time I make it I am going to increase the amount of carrot by about 50% as I felt it needed a bit more, and also I felt the frosting was too sweet, so I am going to try low-fat creme fraiche with much less sugar and plenty of orange zest. I am also going to try it with added 'naughty substances' for a good friend's birthday celebration! :) "
