Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease and line two round cake tins.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: self-raising flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and mixed spice.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently to form a batter.
4. Fold through the finely grated carrot, chopped raisins, and walnuts until evenly distributed.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared tins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, rotating the cakes halfway through baking to ensure an even rise, until golden and cooked through.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

7. Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and maple syrup with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
8. Once the cakes are fully cooled, frost and assemble as desired. Decorate with your choice of toppings and serve.
