Winter Wonderland is at the doorstep... Freshly picked walnuts call for a indulgent dessert! The following recipe is inspired a traditional carrot cake. Too lighten up the recipe, the traditional butter frosting has been replaced by a lemony Greek yoghurt frosting.

INGREDIENTS (14 medium-sized cupcakes or 1 baking thin):

Cakes

• 225g unsalted butter
• 225g raw cane sugar
• 4 eggs
• 200g self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp of sea salt
• 225g fresh firm carrots, peeled & grated
• 150g whole walnuts
• 50g sultanas, chopped 

Yoghurt - Lime icing

• 250g Greek yoghurt (the brand Fage 2% works great!)
• The juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp of honey
• The zest of 1 lime
• The zest of 1 lemon

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cakes

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C. Butter a baking thin or line with baking paper.

2. One at a time and whisk well after addition. Add, half at a  time, the flour, the baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt until they are well incorporated.

3. Add the chopped walnuts, sultanas and stir well through the mixture.

4. Put the mixture into the baking thin

5. Bake it for 35-40 min. (Tip: If you can remove a clean fork from the cake, the cake is ready).

6. In another baking plate, roast the whole walnuts with some honey.

7. Meanwhile, whisk the greek yoghurt with the lemon juice, the lemon zest and honey.

8. Allow the cake to cool for 10 min in its thin. Put the cake on a wire and let it cool completely (can take up to an hour).

9. Cut the cakes in half horizontally. Add the icing to the bottom & put the top back on. Spread the remaining icing on the top. Top with freshly grate with a honey-grilled walnut and lemon & lime zests.

Toppings

1. While cooking, prepare the topping. In a bowl, put the Greek yoghurt, 1 tbsp honey, the juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon and its zest. Whisk the mixture intensely and set aside in a cool place.

2. Before serving, cut the cakes in half. Add a first layer of yoghurt between the 2 slices. Finish with 1 tablespoon of yoghurt. Decorate with 1 walnut kernel and freshly grated lemon and lime zest.

Tip: The unprepared (= without the icing) cakes will stay good for 5 days in a thin box.
