Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2
Grate your carrots, and set aside. Toast your chopped walnuts in a pan on the stovetop. If you want to go the extra step, coat the walnuts in maple syrup and then toast them to get candied walnuts. Set aside to let it cool.
Step 3
Whisk to combine your butter, apple sauce, sugars, vanilla, eggs, and the grated carrots.
Step 4
Sift all of your dry ingredients and fold into to the wet mixture. Add your toasted walnuts and mix in well.
Step 5
Using 6oz oven-safe cake tins, fill half way through with batter. The batter should make enough for 12 mini baking tins. Bake at 300 degrees Farenheit for 20-25 minutes.
Step 6
Make the frosting: Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat until mixture is smooth. Gradually add your cold heavy cream and increase the speed. Continue beating the frosting until stiff peaks form. Transfer into a piping bag fitted with a medium sized piping tip.
Step 7
Once your carrot cakes have cooled down, pipe the frosting on them and garnish with toasted walnuts. Enjoy!
