Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cake tin with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. TIP: If using walnuts, add them to this mixture now.
3
In another bowl, cream together the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the vegetable oil.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, then gently fold in the grated carrots. TIP: Don't overmix; the batter should remain light.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
6
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting: combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth, then refrigerate.
7
Let the cake cool completely, then spread the cream cheese frosting on top. TIP: Garnish with walnuts or grated carrots for added appeal.
