Ingrediënten
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This results in a better batter and fluffier cake.
Once you add the flour and baking powder, mix only until just combined.
Oven times may vary, so check the cake after 25 minutes with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for an additional 3-5 minutes and check again.
Letting the cake rest overnight in the fridge allows the ganache to set and the flavors to meld.

1 Place the walnuts, white caster sugar, cinnamon powder, and egg white in a food processor. Grind until smooth. |
2 Transfer the walnut filling to a piping bag and set aside. |
3 Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool to room temperature. |

5 Chop the white chocolate into small pieces. |
6 In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown caster sugar, white caster sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, eggs, egg yolk, and cinnamon powder until smooth. Add the finely ground carrots to the batter and mix well. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until combined. Fold in the white chocolate pieces. |

8 Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely. |
