Ingredients:
* For the Cake:
* 225g plain flour
* 2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 200g caster sugar
* 100g light brown sugar
* 200ml vegetable oil
* 3 large eggs
* 300g carrots, grated
* 100g walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
* For the Frosting:
* 100g unsalted butter, softened
* 200g full-fat cream cheese, chilled
* 400g icing sugar, sifted
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
* Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) / 350°F / Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins.
* Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
* Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.
* Combine and Fold: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using).
* Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared tins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
* Make the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Add the chilled cream cheese and beat until just combined. Add the sifted icing sugar and vanilla extract and beat on low speed until combined, then increase the speed and beat for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overbeat, or the frosting will become runny.
* Assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread about half of the frosting evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top. Decorate with a sprinkle of nuts if desired.
