Add extra vege goodness to a carrot cake by adding parsnip.
Carrot is a well known addition to cake but parsnip also works well due to its mellow sweetness. In this cake, I combine parsnip and carrot with crunchy walnuts and warming ginger.

PARSNIP & CARROT CAKE WITH WALNUTS & GINGER
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Serves 12
Ingredients
¾ cup (185ml) olive oil
⅓ cup (65g) brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup or honey
3 eggs
1 cup grated parsnip (120g), packed
1 cup grated carrot (120g), packed
1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger root
1 cup (150g) standard white flour
⅓ cup (50g) wholemeal flour or more white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp ground ginger
½ cup (50g) chopped walnuts
Spiced cream cheese icing
250g cream cheese (or use the thick creamed part of a can of coconut cream to make it dairy-free)
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
½ tsp ground ginger
Chopped walnuts, to decorate
Method
Preheat oven to 170C. Line and grease a 20cm round cake tin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, syrup and eggs and whisk until smooth. Mix in the grated parsnip, carrot and ginger.
In a separate bowl combine the flours, baking powder, spices and walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mix and fold together until just combined.
Scoop into the tin and bake for 30-35 minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out cake to a cooling rack.
Make the icing: use a spoon to beat together the cream cheese, maple syrup and ground ginger until smooth. Use a butter knife to spread onto the cooled cake. Decorate with walnuts and serve. Store in a cake tin and consume within 3 days.
