This is a recipe from my best friend, Sebnem. I did not have time to try. As soon as, I try it, I will add more details of the recipe here.

Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time      : 40 min

Ingredients:

• 1 water glass of grated carrot
• 1 water glass crashed walnut
• 1.5 water glass sugar
• 1 water glass sunflower oil
• 2 water glass of flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 tea spoon vanilla
• 2 tea spoon baking powder

Preparation:

1. Heat the oven 180C, fan oven.
2. Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat them with mixer until it gets fluffy.
3. Add sugar and keep mixing.
4. Then, add sunflower oil and continue mixing until mix is smooth. Instead of using just sun flower oil, you can use half glass of sunflower oil and half butter.
5. Add flour slowly and keep mixing flour with other ingredients.
6. With flour, add baking powder and vanilla.
7. When you have a smooth cake mixture, add carrot and walnut, and mix
    with a spoon not a mixer.
8. Gently, mix walnut and carrot.
9. Now, you can pour the cake mix into cake form which is already greased with butter and a bit of flower.
10. Bake the cake about 40minutes and check with toothpick whether it is cooked enough. If it needs more baking, keep the cake in the oven another 10min.
11. Do not forget carrot cake is always bit moist, as long as it does not stick to toothpick too much, it is baked enough.
12. Take the cake out of the oven and leave for rest on kitchen worktop.

Enjoy it with a nice cup of tea and teh company of a good friend.
