How to Make Carrot Zucchini Walnut Cake With Fudge Icing
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 2L bundt pan (or a 22cm round pan).
- Finely grate 200g carrots and 200g zucchini using a food processor. Wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Finely chop 100g walnuts in a food processor. Add to the carrot and zucchini mixture.
- In a food processor, combine 2 large eggs, 200g granulated sugar, 150ml vegetable oil, the zest and juice of 1 orange. Process until light and fluffy.
- Sift 200g plain flour and 1 tsp ground cinnamon into the wet ingredients. Process until just combined.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the carrot mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Fudge Icing:** In a medium saucepan, combine 150g granulated sugar, 50g unsalted butter, and 100ml heavy cream.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or until butter melts.
