PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 175°C top/bottom heat.
2. For the dough, peel, wash and finely grate carrots. Coarsely chop walnuts.
3. Mix flour with baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
4. Beat brown sugar with eggs in a second bowl with a hand mixer until light. Add oil and mix in. Add vanilla sugar and cinnamon and mix in.
5. Add dry ingredients (flour, etc.) in batches to the liquid batter and fold in with a dough scraper.
6. Fold the carrots and walnuts into the batter.
7. Grease springform pan ( 26 cm Ø), pour batter into the pan and bake the cake in a hot oven for 40-45 min. Test with a wooden stick if there is still dough sticking. If no dough sticks to it, remove cake from oven and let cool completely.
