Fibre-rich carrot cake

Ingredients
CAKE
500 ml self-raising flour
10 ml baking powder
10 ml ground cinnamon
2 ml salt
10 ml liquid sweetener
4 extra-large eggs
125 ml oil
150 ml orange juice
625 ml grated carrots
250 ml bran
COTTAGE CHEESE ICING
250 g smooth low-fat cottage cheese
25 ml orange juice
2 packets granular sweetener or 32 drops liquid sweetener
5 ml gelatine soaked in a little water

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and spray a 2 litre ring cake tin with non-stick spray and dust with cake flour. Sift the dry ingredients together. Beat the sweetener, eggs and oil together and add the orange juice, bran and carrots. Add the dry ingredients and mix. Turn the batter into the cake tin, spreading evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until done. Leave to cool in the cake tin for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Blend all the ingredients for the icing except the gelatine. Melt the gelatine over boiling water or in the microwave oven and stir into the cottage cheese mixture a little at a time. Leave until firmer before spreading over the cake. Makes one medium-sized ring cake.
