*********************************
[ INGREDIENTS ] for a 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan
FOR CARROT CAKE:
3 carrots (250-300g)
1/2 cup (60g) walnuts
2 cups (200g) almond flour
2 teaspoons chai masala powder
3/4 cup (100g) cornmeal (or fine polenta)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1 cup (200g) salted butter (or unsalted butter with a pinch of salt)
1/2 cup (60g) raisins
FOR CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
8 oz (250g) cream cheese
1/2 cup (50g) powdered sugar
[If your frosting is a bit runny, a short chill can help firm it up. Place the frosting in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.]
💡Feel free to adjust the amount of chai masala powder according to your preference for a stronger or milder spice profile.
💡If you don't have chai masala on hand, you can substitute the 2 teaspoons with a combination of 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon + 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite warm spice, such as: ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, nutmeg.
💡For the best results, I recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. My recipes are designed with grams in mind, but I also provide cup measurements for your convenience.
