This gluten-free version combines the heartiness of almonds with the subtle sweetness of carrots, making it perfect for any occasion.

- Grate the carrots finely to ensure they blend seamlessly into the cake batter.
- Use room temperature eggs to get a better blend and rise in your cake.
- Toast the walnuts lightly to enhance their flavor before adding them to the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the cream cheese from melting.
- You can adjust the spice mix to your preference; common choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
- Store any leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to a week; it tastes even better the next day!
