Combine dry ingredients
- In a separate large bowl combine 2 cups flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp nutmeg, and ¼ tsp sea salt.
Combine mixtures
- Peel and grate 2 carrot. Roughly chop ½ cup walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Then carefully stir in the carrots and walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin.
Bake cake
