Heat the oven to 180°C/gas 4 and lightly grease a 20cm x 25cm cm cake tin with the rapeseed oil.

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and spice together.

Step 3

In another bowl add egg and banana and beat well. Mix in the sweetener and oil.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana, egg and oil mixture, then fold in the sultanas and carrots.

Step 6

When the cake is cool, cover with the sweetened quark and top with orange zest and walnut pieces.

Step 7

Chefs Tip: Make sure the cake is completely cooled before topping otherwise the cream cheese will melt.

Step 8

Chefs Tip: Try cutting into small squares before you top it, then pipe a blob of sweetened cream cheese onto each square and sprinkle with orange zest and a piece of walnut.

Step 9

Chefs Tip: You could use cinnamon in place of mixed spice or try using different nuts such as hazelnuts or almonds.
