  1. To begin making the Carrot Cake Recipe, first preheat oven 180 C
  2. Grease and flour a 9 inch spring foam pan or a bread loaf pan or a bundt pan

  5. Stir well and let the mixture rest for about 15 minutes
  6. This process of resting helps the flax meal mixture develop a gelatinous consistency similar to eggs
  7. To make the batter Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and keep aside

  9. Gradually add in the flour mixture and the carrots and beat until well combined
  10. Fold in the walnuts and spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan and place it to bake in the preheated oven
  11. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until when a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean
  12. Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven
  13. You can serve the Spiced Carrot Cake as it is or along with a glaze or cream cheese topping
  14. Method for the Quick GlazeIn a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and 1 to 2 tsp water until smooth but thick glaze forms(too thin will be absorbed by the cake)
  15. Place a piece of waxed paper under cooling rack for easy cleanup
  16. Spoon glaze back and forth over the cake forming a zig zag pattern
  17. Keep the cake on the cooking rack until glaze is set about 15-20 minutes
