Method
Preheat oven to 170°C conventional (150°C fan forced). Grease and line base of a 28cm x 18cm slice pan.
Combine carrot, orange rind, apricots, Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar and almond meal together in a medium sized bowl. Sift over the flour, baking powder and spices.
Combine eggs and oil and whisk with a fork until combined. Add to flour mixture and use a wooden spoon to mix until combined. Pour mixture into pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand in pan for 10 minutes to cool, then invert onto cooling rack.
For the icing: Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in the Chelsea Icing Sugar and orange juice until well combined and fluffy. Spread over cake.
