CARROT CAKE
1) Grease and flour a (18-22 cm) baking tin and preheat the oven to 175°C.
2) Mix nutmeg, sugar, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon together.
3) Stir in milk, vinegar, oil and apple sauce. Whisk quickly until the batter is smooth.
4) Fold in walnuts (if any) and stir in carrots.
5) Pour into the prepared tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 40-50 minutes at 175°C, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool before covering with frosting.
FROSTING
1) Whisk the butter and coconut oil till the mixture is fluffy.
2) Add the powdered sugar to taste and whisk for a few minutes to get the frosting light and fluffy.
3) Optional: add the lemon zest and a little lemon juice to taste.
You get the best result if the cake rests on rack under a kitchen towel (not tightly covered) over night or for a few hours to let it cool completely. Cover with frosting in the morning or after a few hours.
