120ml of maple syrup

Sift the flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl . Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, mixed spice, walnuts and carrots and mix to combine.
Add the mashed sweet potato and maple syrup, and mix until fully combined.
Spoon mixture into a prepared baking tin.
Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin for a little, then place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Served topped with some plant-based cream or ice-cream, but this cake is super delicious as it is.
