Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the soft brown sugar.
Add the sultanas and grated vegetables.
Beat in the oil and eggs together and add to the bowl. Combine with either a wooden spoon or an electric mixer.
Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake for 1- 1 ¼ hours or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Cool in tin for 10 minutes and then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.
