Mary Berry Carrot cake

Hi.
This is probably a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have the Mary Berry carrot cake recipe that appeared as part of a special newspaper supplement, probably 4.5 years ago. This is my favourite recipe and I'm gutted because I've misplaced it.
From memory the recipe contains dessicated coconut, raisins and walnuts and various spices along with the carrots etc, but I can't remember quantities. Also the cream cheese frosting has orange curd in it. I've looked on line and can't find it.
Any help appreciated, thank you.

Thank you so much for looking, looks so similar in the picture, but there was no banana in the one I used and i definitely remember orange flavour frosting. Will give this one a go though to see if it's good. Thanks again.

Is she on Twitter or have a Facebook page? You could try asking her through social media.

I got the impression from her website that she's not very active on social media and her fb page just seems to be about the recent TV shows. The website also says that they don't answer individual emails or recipe queries, which is a shame but understandable I guess.

Thanks for the recipe, not the one as it has banana in it, but I will be trying it as this seems popular online.

The recipe has been found. It's in the Great British bake off Everyday cookbook from 2013.
Thanks to you all for looking.
