3/4 cup of applesauce (or 3 eggs)
300 ml copra oil (or 150 ml oil + 150 ml low-fat greek yoghurt)
300 grams flour = 2 cups
1 tsp soda bicarbonate
1 tsp leaven
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger(powder)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
300 grams grated carrots = 3 cups
100 grams of lightly heated then roughly chopped walnuts = 1 cup
Cream Cheese Frosting
300 grams sifted powdered sugar
50 grams salted butter (or unsalted), at a temperature
125 grams cold cheese
It is important to Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and line 2 x 8’ tins with non-stick discs.
Once that’s done, sift the flour, soda bicarbonate, leaven, salt, and rest all of the spices into a little bowl. in an exceedingly large bowl, whisk together the eggs (or applesauce), oil, vanilla, and sugar using the paddle attachment of a stand-alone or handheld mixer. Mix it nicely until well incorporated.
For the subsequent step, add the flour mixture into the egg mixture, and blend until well incorporated. Fold within the carrots and therefore the walnuts until properly mixed.
Pour the batter into the two prepared tins and bake within the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bouncy to the touch (and/or an inserted skewer comes out clean). Cool for five minutes then inverts during a cool rack before frosting.
To make the icing, start by beating the powdered sugar with the softened butter. When properly mixed, add the cheese until mixed in and no lumps remain. Whisk for a couple of more minutes until light and fluffy.
