Carrot & Walnut Cake


450g sugar
5 eggs
230g wholemeal flour
120g plain flour
pinch cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
250 ml vegetable oil
440g carrots, grated
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped roughly

Topping:
125g cream cheese
125g unsalted butter
100g icing sugar

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Put the sugar and eggs into a bowl and beat until pale and then sift the dry ingredients into the bowl.

Add the oil, carrot and walnuts and mix until combined. Do not overmix.

Butter a large bread tin and line with baking paper. Put the mixture in the tin and bake for 40 minutes or until the cake springs back when pressed.

Allow the cake to cool before adding the topping.

To make the topping, beat the cream cheese, butter and icing sugar in a mixing bowl until light. Turn the cake out of the tin and cover the top with the topping. Decorate with walnuts (optional).
