Using a stand or hand mixer, whip eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and airy. Add oil and continue whipping.
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add to the flour mixture thinly grated carrots, orange juice, orange zest and walnuts. Gently mix together using a spatula.
Lightly grease and line your baking form with the parchment paper.

HowToTips
* Best to leave the cake overnight to cool down (it will be less crumbly), however, if you can’t wait you can enjoy it right away.
** You can either use a rectangular form 15*20 cm or 6*7,5 inches, or a loaf tin 8.25*2.16*2.16inch (this is what we used, however, you will still have some batter left, it will be also enough for 2 muffins).

INGREDIENTS:
Orange confit
***2 oranges (sweet variety)
****3-4 tablespoons of sugar (add more if you’d like)
2 grams of pectin

Prep time: 30 mins

First grate the oranges to get the zest, then peel them. Cut orange slices into smaller pieces.
In a saucepan mix together zest, orange slices and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Melt the sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
Mix the remaining sugar with the pectin and add to the saucepan. Cook for another 1-1,5 minutes on medium.
In the end you can use a hand blender to make the mixture smoother. Put in the clean container and let it cool.

HowToTips
*** Navel oranges are used in this recipe , however, they still had a bit of tartiness to them. So you are encouraged to try other varieties.
**** A spoon of honey can also be used

Whip cream cheese, icing sugar, heavy cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Be sure not to over whip. Put it in the piping bag with your favorite pastry nozzle and keep in the fridge until it’s time to use.

Cut the cake or the loaf into squares. Turn up the side of the cut. Put a dollop of the orange confit and spread evenly, followed by the vanilla cream. Enjoy:)
