Elevate tea time with a deliciously moist apricot and carrot loaf.

Ingredients:

Melted butter, for greasing
110g (2/3 cup) chopped dried apricots
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
115g (3/4 cup) plain flour
2.50 gm mixed spice
200g (1 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
250g carrots, grated
65g (1/2 cup) chopped walnuts
125g butter, melted
3 eggs, lightly whisked

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a 10.5 x 21cm loaf pan with melted butter and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
Place the apricots in a medium bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
Combine the flours and spice in a medium mixing bowl, then mix in the apricots, brown sugar, carrots, and walnuts. Add the butter and eggs, and use a large metal spoon to blend everything together.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
