Passion loaf with coconut cream cheese icing

Step 1

Drain the juice from the pineapple into a small saucepan, add the sultanas, simmer for 1-2 mins until the sultanas are plump, then set aside to cool. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 900g loaf tin with a strip of baking parchment.

Step 2

In a jug, whisk the sunflower oil, eggs and yogurt. In a large bowl, combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, sugar, walnuts and 1/2 tsp salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, add pineapple, drain the sultanas and add these too, along with the carrots and banana. Mix with a spatula until combined, then scrape into the tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 50 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 3

To make the icing, whisk together the cream cheese, yogurt and icing sugar in a large bowl until just combined – be careful not to overmix. When the cake is cool, spread the icing on top and scatter with coconut shavings, if you like.
