- 230 ml vegetable oil
- 100 g natural / greek yogurt (full fat)
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 265 g self-raising flour
- 335 g light muscovado sugar
- 2.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp grated nutmeg
- 265 g grated carrots
- 100 g chopped walnuts
- 100 g soft butter

## Instructions

1. Whisk together the oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.

3. Pour the mixture into two 20cm cake tins, lined on the bottom and greased on the sides.
4. Bake the cakes at 180°C / 160°C fan for 30-35 minutes or until no cake is visible on a skewer when inserted.
5. Leave the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the tin and allowing them to cool completely. You can place them in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.
6. Meanwhile, whisk the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until combined.
7. Add the icing sugar 1/2 cup at a time and whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
8. Place one half of the cooled cake upside down on a cake stand and spread half of the frosting mixture on top.

10. Chill the cake in the fridge.
11. Sprinkle with some more chopped walnuts as desired.
