Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, softened
Salta pinch
Eggs3
Carrot2, diced
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Cream Cheese1 cup, chopped
Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
Walnuts1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the base of your tin with parchment.
2
Whisk the walnuts, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and ground cinnamon through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake until the top springs back when pressed, 28-38 minutes depending on your tin.
5
Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
