Steps to make Carrot and walnut cake:
- Warm oven at 150C fan-forced or 170C. Grease a 20cm round cake pan lightly with oil, and line with non stick baking paper
- Add the brown sugar, oil, golden syrup, egg and vanilla in a separate bowl. Use a balloon whisk to mox until combined
- Sift the flours, baking soda, and cinnamon into a large bowl
- Pour the oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to stir gently until just combined. Stir in the grated carrot and walnut
- Pour the mixture into mould and bake for 1 hour. Set aside for 5 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely
- Spingle with icing and serve
To make the icing add the cream cheese, lemon juice, icing sugar and vanilla essence to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Partially because they're a vehicle for that amazing, slightly tangy cream cheese frosting but also because they're super-moist, perfectly sweet and min always have toasted pecans or walnuts thrown in for some extra crunch. In another bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Fold the flour mixture into the carrot mixture, taking care not to overmix. Fold in the toasted walnuts until evenly combined.
