Ciasto marchwiowe

Przepis pochodzi z Washington Post, podaję przepis w wersji angielskiej.
Ingredients:
For the cake

* 2 cups flour
* 2 cups sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 3/4 cup canola or corn oil
* 3 large eggs
* 1 1/3 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 1/4 cups finely chopped or grated carrots
* 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (see TIPS)

For the frosting

* 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1 cup walnut halves, toasted (see TIPS)

Directions:

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch-square baking pan.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a stand mixer. On low speed, add the oil, mixing well; the mixture will look crumbly. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing for about 30 seconds, until smooth. Remove the bowl from the mixer; add the carrots and walnuts, stirring by hand until well combined. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until the top feels firm if gently touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for about 1 1/2 hours.
