Gluten-Free Spiced Carrot, Parsnip & Orange Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 20-cm springform cake tin with butter or dairy-free baking margarine and line with greaseproof paper. 2. Place the butter, flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, spices, eggs and orange zest in a medium bowl. Whisk together on a medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well blended. 3. With a large metal spoon, fold in the carrot, parsnip, raisins and pecans. Tip the mixture into the prepared cake tin, and bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes until the centre is set and springy, and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. 4. Remove from the oven, then peel off the lining paper and leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack. When cold, run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake, and transfer from the tin and to a serving plate. 5. To make the icing, in a large bowl, whisk the butter until soft and fluffy, then whisk in the cream cheese, icing sugar and orange zest and juice, until smooth and thick. Spread over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans, and serve. TIP: to make a dairy-free icing, mix 300 g softened dairy-free baking margarine, beat 275 g icing sugar, the finely grated zest of 1 orange and the finely grated zest of 1 lime together – and add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to give the icing a citrus kick.
