Queque de Zanahoria (Chilean Carrot Cake): Classic Chilean recipe for a moist carrot cake served topped with cream cheese and a candy carrot.

Ingredients:

1 egg
90ml oil
100g sugar
75g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
35g walnuts, chopped
1/2 large carrot, finely grated

Method:

In a bowl, beat the eggs with the oil then add the sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly then add the carrot and nuts and mix again.

Turn the mixture into a greased and floured springform cake tin then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.

Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
