METHOD

1
First, preheat the oven to 170 °C and prepare a cake tin (⌀ 24 cm). Line the bottom of the cake tin with baking paper and grease the sides with 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil.
2
Then prepare the batter for the cake base. In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs with white and brown granulated sugar until foamy, and slowly pour in 300 ml of rapeseed oil while continuously stirring. Then whisk 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract into the mixture. Sift plain flour into the whisked mixture, add baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, and mix. Stir in raisins, coarsely grated carrots, and coarsely chopped walnuts, and mix again. Finally, pour the resulting batter into the prepared cake tin.
3
Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake the cake base for 45–50 minutes at 170–175 °C. After removing, let the cake base cool completely (1–2 hours).
4
Meanwhile, prepare the cream. In a bowl, first whisk the butter with powdered sugar, and then whisk in the cream cheese.
5
Cut the cooled cake base lengthwise in half. Spread the prepared cream on the bottom half of the cake base, cover with the top half, and spread the remaining cream over the surface.
6
Sprinkle the prepared carrot cake with coarsely chopped walnuts, cut into 10 portions, and serve.
