Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (Vietnamese, if you have it)
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (use a nice fruity kind)

For the frosting:

• zest of 1 whole orange, finely grated
• 3 cups powdered sugar

Directions

Make the frosting first:

1. Using the electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until combined. Add the heavy cream and whip until soft and fluffy. Beat in the maple syrup, orange juice and zest. Add the powdered sugar bit by bit until completely combined (be careful as it tends to explode on your face if you add in too much at a time). Blend well then press a piece of plastic wrap over the frosting and place in the fridge to cool while you make the cake. (Note that the frosting should be a bit runny)

For cake:

1.Preheat oven to 170°C. Butter two 9-inch-diameter cake pans. Line bottom of pans with waxed or parchment paper. Butter and flour sides of pan and tap out extra.

2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg in a medium bowl.

3. In the base of your electric mixture with the whisk attachment, whisk the sugar and oil until combined. Beat the eggs in one at a time.

4. Switch to the paddle attachment, and and add the flour mixture until all combined.

5. Add the carrot pulp and ginger and continue mixing. Divide the batter between prepared pans and bake for 40 minutes or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Flip the cakes out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

When the cakes have cooled:

Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread with 3/4 cup icing. Top with second layer. Spread remaining icing over entire cake. Let chill before serving so that the frosting has time to set (about 1-2 hours)
