Description
This recipe was shared with us by Chef John Smith: "Classic carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. It's often made with walnuts (for example, at a coffee shop), but almonds look more elegant here, and the flavor is lighter. If you like, you can slice the cake in half lengthwise, and it will become a layered cake."

- Baking Powder - 0.2 oz
- Sugar - 7.1 oz
- Vegetable Oil - 5 fl oz
- Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
- Salt - 0.1 oz

- Walnuts - 1.8 oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Grate fresh carrots on a fine grater, holding them strictly perpendicular to the grater's surface: this will yield fine shavings instead of long 'strands'. Add salt, cinnamon, black pepper, walnuts, nutmeg, and mix thoroughly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar and vegetable oil. Whisk until the mixture is homogeneous and lightens in color.
Step 3
Add the grated carrot to the egg mixture, sift in the flour with the baking powder, and mix until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the oven temperature to 320°F and bake for another 20 minutes.
Step 6
For the cream, blend the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool completely, spread the cream cheese evenly over it, and sprinkle with almond flakes.
