Cake Base
- Preheat the oven to 170°c (fan-forced).
- Line a square cake tin (22cm x 22cm) with baking paper.
- Vigorously whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and golden syrup together for 5 minutes.
- Add the olive oil, vanilla, bicarb soda, cinnamon, walnuts, carrots, AdVital Powder and flour. Mix them together gently until they form a smooth mixture.
- Place the mixture into the previously prepared cake tin and bake it for 30–40 minutes (until a skewer speared through the middle comes out clean).
- Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes in the tin, then remove it and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

- Use electric beaters to mix the cream cheese, icing sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice in a bowl until they form a smooth, well-combined mixture.
- Whisk the AdVital Powder into the mixture.
- Whisk the fortified cream into the cream cheese mixture together until they combine.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake.
- Portion the cake into pieces as required and serve it.
