A beautiful Carrot & Cardamom Celebration Cake created by Master Pastry Chef, Shane Smith.
Ingredients
- 6 medium eggs
- 320g caster sugar
- 320g ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 35g cornflour
- 35g baking powder

FROSTING:
Method
- 1. Preheat your oven to 160C.
- 2. Grease and line 2×8” round loose bottom tins. Set aside
- 3. Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and combine until you are left with a soft batter. Dive this mix evenly between the two tins.
- 4. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- 5. Once baked, remove and allow to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 6. For the frosting, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and cardamom until light and fluffy.
- 7. Add the cream cheese and combine. Do not over mix at this point.
- 8. Sandwich and cover the cooled sponges with the frosting and decorate with some chopped walnuts and carrot tops!
