Wholemeal carrot and honey cake

Wholemeal carrot and honey cake
Originally saw this cake being made on a Channel Four TV programme about landshare presented by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. I used a 23cm (9") square cake tin rather than the round tin mentioned in his method. A word of warning - the recipe instructs to beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl for ten minutes using an electric whisk. It does actually take the full ten minutes to achieve the consistency stated. My arm was almost numb when I'd finished, can't imagine how long it would take with a low tech balloon whisk....Anyway the cake is delicious! Click here for the recipe.
