Steps

45 minutes

1

Grate the carrots and ginger, and chop the walnuts. Set aside.
2

Beat the oil, sugar, and eggs in a bowl until you get a thick and creamy mixture. Incorporate the carrots, walnuts, and melted cocoa, then add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, all sifted.
3

Pour the mixture into a greased and floured round pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 45 minutes. Once out of the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely on a rack.
4

Cover the cake with the frosting, which is prepared by mixing the butter (at room temperature), cream cheese, zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar until you get a smooth mixture. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
