Preheat the oven to 170°c. Line a 20cm round cake tin.

Stir in the grated carrots, walnuts, spices, orange and lemon zest.
Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda and lightly mix all the ingredients together.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40/45 minutes, until a skewer comes our with cake crumbles.
Remove from oven, allow to cool in the tin for at least 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
Using electric beaters, whisk butter, orange juice and zest together while adding the icing sugar slowly until the buttercream is light, fluffy and pale in colour.
When the cake is cooled completely, use a pallet knife to smooth the buttercream on to the top of the cake. Start with a large dollop of buttercream in the middle, then work it gently out towards the edges until the top is covered.
Decorate with extra crushed walnuts
