Servings: persons

100 grams rolled oats
150 milliliters just boiled water
100 milliliters milk
75 grams sultanas (golden raisins)
1/2 teaspoon salt
115 grams very soft butter
150 grams light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
100 grams shredded carrots (2 medium sized ones)
2 eggs, large
50 grams sweetened shredded coconut
180 grams all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
For the topping
85 grams butter - very soft
75 grams light brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
150 grams sweetened shredded coconut
50 grams coconut flakes
75 grams walnuts, chopped

1
Stir together the oats, water and milk and leave for 20 minutes. At the same time, place the sultanas in a bowl and cover with just boiled water.
2
Pre-heat oven to 175C/ 350F and grease or paper a 9? square pan and drain the sultanas.
3
Mix the salt, butter, shredded carrots, sultanas, sugar and vanilla into the oats and blend with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
4
Beat in the eggs and coconut blending well. Then, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and stir until just mixed.
5
Pour into the prepared baking tin and bake for 30 mins or until just set.
6
In the meantime, make the topping by combining all the ingredients.
7
When the cake is ready, turn on the grill (broiler).
8
Spread the topping as evenly as you can over the warm cake then grill/broil for about a minute or two until it is lightly golden...the topping burns very easily so don't walk away like I did!
9
Cool in the tin on a wire rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
