Cooking steps

1. Break the eggs into a bowl, add brown and white sugar, and beat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add vegetable oil and sifted flour, beating for 1-2 minutes. Add salt, baking powder, soda, and spices; mix well. The dough should be thick and very sticky.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Brown sugar: 0.5 glass
   • Fine white sugar: 0.5 glass
   • Vegetable oil: 120 ml
   • Wheat flour: 1 glass
   • Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
   • Soda: 0.8 teaspoon
   • Nutmeg: 0.8 teaspoon
   • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon

2. Grate the carrot finely, chop the nuts or blend them. Rinse the raisins in hot water and dry. Add everything to the dough and mix — the mixture will gradually become less thick. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into it, smooth it out, and bake for 35-40 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Carrot: 375 g
   • Walnuts: 100 g
   • Light raisins: 95 g

3. Cool the pie to room temperature, remove from the mold and cut into 2 layers. Prepare the filling for the cake: beat room temperature cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the filling on the bottom layer, cover with the second layer and coat the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream. Sprinkle the sides of the cake with crumbs from trimming and decorate the top as desired.
