[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Need to impress your in-laws? This My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/i>-inspired bundt cake should do the trick. For a true Portakalos-style flourish, decorate with a zingy blood orange drizzle.<\/p>\n

Carrot, Courgette, Blood Orange & Greek Honey Bundt cake<\/h2>\n

For the cake<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 courgettes, grated<\/p>\n

2 carrots, peeled and grated<\/p>\n

325g plain flour<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp bicarbonate of soda<\/p>\n

1 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp cinnamon<\/p>\n

1 tsp ground nutmeg<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp ground cloves<\/p>\n

1 tsp mixed spice<\/p>\n

80g chopped walnuts (optional)<\/p>\n

100g butter<\/p>\n

180ml vegetable oil<\/p>\n

300g light brown sugar<\/p>\n

4 eggs, room temperature<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

For the drizzle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zest of \u00bd a blood orange<\/p>\n

For the blood orange & greek honey icing<\/p>\n

1 blood orange, juiced, plus the zest of \u00bd<\/p>\n

100g cream cheese<\/p>\n

120g icing sugar<\/p>\n

1 tbsp Greek honey<\/p>\n

Water to loosen<\/p>\n

Method<\/h2>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u00baC<\/p>\n

Peel and grate the carrots, grate the courgettes, then place in a colander over a bowl to drain any excess liquid.<\/p>\n

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and mixed spice into a large bowl. Stir in the walnuts if using.<\/p>\n

Beat together the butter, oil and sugar, then add the eggs one at a time until combined, followed by the vanilla extract and blood orange zest. Stir in the grated veg.<\/p>\n

Add the flour mixture to your wet mixture, then fold together with a metal spoon until everything is fully combined.<\/p>\n

With fingers (or the butter wrapper), butter the bundt tin then pour in the cake mix.<\/p>\n

Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in the tin before carefully turning out onto a plate.<\/p>\n

Next, the icing. Mix together the orange juice and remaining zest (saving a little for garnish), cream cheese, icing sugar and honey. Loosen with a dash of water if needed until it\u2019s just pourable (but still thick).<\/p>\n

Using a jug or a squeezy bottle, pour the icing evenly over the bundt cake. Garnish with the remaining zest. Cut into slices and serve.<\/p>\n
