    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    4

    Add the grated carrots and milk, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.

    6

    For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream.

    7

    Frost the top and sides of the cake with the cream cheese frosting, smoothing it out evenly.

    8

    Arrange the fondant carrots on top of the cake in a circular pattern as decoration.

    9

    Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to allow the frosting to set, then serve.
