METHOD
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener, olive oil, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and lactose-free milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, beat together the lactose-free cream cheese, Lakanto Icing Powder and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- For the candied walnuts, melt the Lakanto Golden Monkfruit Sweetener in a pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts, stirring constantly until coated.
- Carefully pour the walnut mixture onto a sheet of baking paper and allow to cool completely before handling.
- Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the icing evenly over the top.
- Garnish the cake with the candied walnuts.
