Super moist cake with leftover levain from #astricus.ventus.
Many of you probably have a go-to carrot cake recipe.
But I will leave this recipe below, in case the photo is enticing you enough to try it

Yields : 1 (9 in) round cake

1 1/4c of flour ( I did, 3/4c AP & 1/2 cup WG spelt flour)
1/2c of sugar
1/2c of packed brown sugar
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg, ground cardamom, ground ginger, & salt
1/2c of toasted chopped walnuts
1c or big handful of grated carrots
2 eggs
1c of sourdough starter
2/3c of vegetable oil
1/4c of plain yogurt
- 1/4c of almond milk /or milk, if using a stiff starter -
Cream cheese frosting :
1 package of cream cheese (8oz)
1/4c of softened butter
1c of icing sugar
1-2 drops of vanilla extract
1-2 tsp of almond milk if frosting is too thick -

Mix the dry and wet ingredients separate, and combine.
Bake in a 180C preheated oven for 40-45 mins, check with toothpick test.
