INSTRUCTIONS

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 canola oil.
2
Then prepare the batter for the cake base. In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs with white and brown sugar until frothy, and while constantly stirring, slowly pour in 300 ml of canola oil. Then whisk in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Sift the plain flour into the whipped mixture, add baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, and mix. Stir in the 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 the powdered sugar, and then whisk in the cream cheese.
5
Cut the cooled cake base in half lengthwise. Spread the prepared cream on the bottom part of the cake base, cover with the top part of the cake base, and spread the remaining cream over the surface.
6
Sprinkle the prepared carrot cake with coarsely chopped walnuts, cut into 10 servings, and serve.
