Steps:

Set your oven to 180C Normal or 200C Fan. Prep 2 9 or 10 inch Cake tins with Baking Paper.
In a bowl, grate your carrot and combine with the sugar. Mix. (Mix 1)
Add the Oil, Plant-Based Milk and Vanilla Essence. Mix again. (Mix 1)
In a separate bowl. Sieve your flour, then add in Baking Powder, Salt, the Nuts and your Spices. (Mix 2)
Fold your dry mixture into the wet mixture until thoroughly combined.
Separate into the pans. Drop your tins from a very small height to release any extra air bubbles.
Cook for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once cooked, cool for 1 hour at room temperature.
For the cream cheese frosting, Sieve your icing sugar into a bowl and wish together with the other ingredients. It should be thick and hold it's shape when ready.
Add more icing sugar if too thin or a little coconut oil. The icing is best placed in the fridge for an hour to harden slightly before layering on the cake.
Serve immediately. Alternatively, keep in a cake tin at room temperate or in the fridge. Will keep for up to a week.
