Instructions: To begin making the Spiced Carrot Walnut Cake Recipe, first get all the ingredients ready - like grating carrots, measuring the ingredients, chopping the chocolate etc.Preheat the oven to 180 C and grease a round or square baking dish with butter and dust it with flour.In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, baking powder and salt. Add the sugar, carrots, oil, eggs and toasted walnuts. Using a hand mixer, beat all the ingredients together until well combined.Pour the carrot cake batter into the baking dish and bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until done. When you insert a tester into the cake, it should come out clean.Once baked, remove the carrot cake from the oven and allow it to cool, while we make our topping.Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave until you get a smooth paste of the chocolate.Spread the melted chocolate over the cake and serve.Serve the Spiced Carrot Walnut Cake with Chocolate as a tea time snack along with a cup of coffee or pack into the snack box for kids.
