Mix together the sugar, flour, bicarbonate of soda and spice in a mixing bowl.

Whisk together the eggs and oil, then stir into the dry ingredients with the grated carrots.

Spoon into the paper cases and bake for about 20 minutes until golden and risen. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
