Steps:
- Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 20 cm springform cake tin with baking paper. In a large bowl combine the carrots, almond meal, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt. Add the butter, syrup, eggs and vanilla, stir really well until combined. Transfer the cake batter into the prepared tin and place into the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until cooked through. Take out of the oven and allow to cool completely before releasing the springform and turning out the cake. Meanwhile, make the frosting! Place all the ingredients into your blender or food processor and whiz until smooth. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting on top of the cake, sprinkle with extra walnuts and lemon rind! Cut slices and NOM NOM NOM!

Steps:
- Step 1 - Place cashews into your high power blender (or food processor).
- Step 2 - Blend on high speed until a paste-like cashew cream begins to form. You'll need to scrape the sides of the blender a few times to get the mixture to form.
- Step 3 - Add the maple syrup, lemon juice and coconut oil. Blend until the cashews become creamier. Add water gradually and as little as possible. You want the cream frosting to loosen and become smooth and silky but you don't wan to dilute the flavors with water. How much water you need will vary (and will also depend on whether you pre-soaked your cashews).
- Step 1 - Place the diced carrots, almond meal, hazelnut meal, dates, dried apricots, and cinnamon into your food processor. Blitz until very well combine and forms a soft paste.
- Step 2 - Add coconut, dried pineapple, sultanas/raisins, and orange zest to the mixture in the food processor. Blitz very briefly until just combined. You want these ingredients to be less processed so that there's some texture variance in the finished cake (ie, you want some different sized "bits" in your cake).
- Use either two mini spring-form pans or a small spring-form pan.
- Step 1 - Press a layer of carrot cake mixture into the base of your pan. It should approx 2.5cm (1 inch) thick.
- Step 2 - Add a layer of cashew cream frosting.
- Step 3 Optional: Sprinkle dried fruits and nuts on the cashew cream frosting layer. I used a tropical fruit mix I had in the cupboard for the cakes in the photo. It added a lovely color, texture and even more flavor. Shredded or flaked coconut would also work well.
- Step 4 - Add another layer of carrot cake mixture onto of the cashew cream frosting (same thickness as your base layer). Smooth top of cake so it's even.
- Step 5 - For best results refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight). Place plastic wrap or a plate over the top of the cake to prevent it drying out in the fridge. If you're not refrigerating, move straight onto Step 6.
- Step 6 - Remove the cakes carefully from spring-form pans. The cakes will still be malleable so handle them gently.
- Step 7 - Top cakes with cashew cream frosting and decorate as you like.
- Step 8 - Slice with a sharp knife that's been heated under hot running water. This makes cutting the cake easier. Enjoy!

HEART HEALTHY CARROT CAKE
EXTRA moist carrot. very dense mixture does not raise much but is absoultly FAB. I prepare in mini loafs and sharing with friend(I am the only one in the house who like Carrot cake)but everyone else is gradually trying this recipe and liking it. I omit the raisins and nuts and does great(if you ever wonder. Cuts very easily due to its denseness. Unfrosted "bars" Great for breakfast, no crumbs travels well in the car for on the go mornings.
