This recipe is created in partnership with Peter Rabbit 2.

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grate carrots and set aside. In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, all spice, salt, baking powder and soda. Set aside. 2. In a Tefal Thermo Cooker on speed 10 using the Ultra Blade attachment, mix together both sugars and eggs until just combined (if you don’t have a Cuisine Companion use a hand mixer). Gradually add the oil through the top lid opening until well combined. Lower speed to 8 then gradually add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time until it forms a batter. Remove attachment. Fold through the grated carrot, raisins and crushed pineapple. 3. Pour batter into a 20 cm Ingenio saucepan/cake tin. Bake in 180 degree oven for 40-50 minutes. Let Cool. 4. Whilst cake is baking, wash the Cuisine Companion bowl and insert Ultra Blade in order to make the icing. Add butter, cream cheese and vanilla and mix on speed 10 for 20 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix again for another 20 seconds. Lower speed to 8 and gradually add the icing sugar from the top lid opening until it all comes together, is smooth and glossy. 5. Once the cake is cooled, use half the icing mixture to cover the cake. Refrigerate for half an hour and use the remaining icing to finish decorating the cake. Gently press the crushed walnuts onto the sides of the cake and enjoy.
