A few simple steps

Let’s make something good.

Follow the updated ingredient weights and your swap notes above. The method keeps the original ingredient names; chilling and cooking times are guidance.

01
Process walnuts, dates, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until coarsely combined, then pulse in grated carrot just until mixed through — keep some texture.
02
Divide the mixture in half and press each half into a 7-inch ring mold to form two cake layers; chill while making the frosting.
03
Blend soaked cashews, lemon juice, maple syrup, and coconut oil until completely smooth and tangy.
04
Unmold one cake layer onto a serving plate, spread a layer of frosting on top, stack the second layer, then frost the top and sides.
05
Chill at least 3 hours before slicing so the layers hold together cleanly.
