Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease 1 x 30cm round cake tin or 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line with baking paper.
Beat eggs, Chelsea White Sugar and oil together until pale and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and mixed spice.
Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture, then fold in the grated carrots, pineapple and walnuts.
Pour mixture into prepared tin or tins and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour (check at 45 minutes for the 20cm tins, if using a 30cm tin it may take slightly more than 1 hour), or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in tin(s) for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Icing
Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the smaller quantity of Chelsea Icing Sugar, and the lemon juice and rind. Beat until smooth and well combined. Add the extra icing sugar if needed.

If using two cakes, ice the top of one cake generously then place second cake on top. Cover with the rest of the icing. Decorate with chopped walnuts, if desired.
