Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf tin or square cake tin with vegetable oil and line the base and sides with baking parchment.
Combine the grated carrots, plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, unrefined cane sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Add chopped walnuts, if using, and stir gently.
Combine the fruit jam, vegetable oil, and oat drink in a separate bowl. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread it evenly. Bake for around 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove the tin from the oven and leave the cake to cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the baking parchment, then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool further.
Cut into slices and serve as a dessert, with afternoon tea or as a breakfast treat.
