I don't suggest freezing this recipe as I think it may dry it out too much if you do.

Is it more of a cake slice rather than a firm biscuit-like slice?
Yes more cakey than biscuity, but not dense like a cake.
1/4 cup sultanas?
Yes, you can add more if you’d like.
What is the amount of sugar you beat with the butter?? It seems to be missing from the Ingredients list….or am I having one of THOSE days??
No Kim, it appears I am having one of those days, I have added it in thank you for pointing that out. ¼ cup brown sugar.
Fantastic Thanks. I am having one of those days so you might have caught it!!
Are you sure 14 cups of sultanas or 1/4 cup
Ooh, woops sorry, yes ¼ cup all fixed, thank you.
Is it ok to use white SR flour?
You could Jenny, not sure how different it may taste.
what size pan do you recommend?
cheers
I used a slice pan.
Mmmmm, looks yummy. Definitely trying this. Thanks Katrina for sharing 🙂
I made this tonight and it’s delicious! Definitely a keeper. Only tip – when making the icing don’t do what I did and add all the orange juice all at once. Combine all the ingredients and then add enough orange juice to make it firm. Oh, and make double quantity – the first lot won’t last very long!!!!!
How do you package for school lunches? Would the icing just stick to & come off on cling wrap or a container lid?
I made this tonight yummy but the consistency was really unusual when I was placing it in pan – like it was really dry and sticky ? Is this how it should be ?
I really want to make this cake! Looks delish! Is it really only 1/4 cup of carrots? Doesnt seem like much at all.
If you love slices why not try this cRot silces
Hi Kat, Just wondering with this one, as I don’t bake a whole lot. Do you freeze this slice with the icing on?
Hi Kaylene, absolutely, cake and icing, this icing is perfect to freeze, hope you enjoy it 🙂
