Georgina Hayden puts a slightly different spin on a carrot cake with her halwa-inspired recipe. She says:
”One of my favourite Indian sweets is halwa, made with carrots slow cooked in sugar with cardamom, pistachios and raisins. Here I’m using the same exotic flavours in a carrot cake, finished off with a brown-sugar buttercream. Adorn with gold leaf, if you’re feeling flush”.
