Ingredients

Nonstick baking spray

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 1/2 cups Mexican crema

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon orange extract

3 large carrots, finely shredded (about 3 cups packed)

1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted plus additional for garnish (optional)

1 1/2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°; spray 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray. In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.

2. In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat sugar and oil until just combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat 2 minutes, scraping down bowl occasionally. Add 1/2 cup crema, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and orange extract; beat 30 seconds or until incorporated. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture and beat until just blended. Fold in carrots and walnuts. Makes about 5 cups batter.

3. In separate large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat cream cheese and remaining 1 cup crema 3 minutes or until smooth, scraping down bowl occasionally; gradually add powdered sugar and beat 3 minutes or until well combined. Add remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat on low speed until just combined (do not overmix). Makes about 3 1/2 cups cream cheese mixture.

4. Spoon 1/2 the batter into prepared pan; top with 2 cups cream cheese mixture. Carefully spread remaining 1/2 the batter over cream cheese mixture; bake 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake 30 minutes in pan on wire rack. Run

small knife around edges of pan to loosen and carefully invert cake onto serving platter; cool completely.

5. Spread remaining 1 1/2 cups cream cheese mixture over top of cake and sprinkle with walnuts, if desired; cut into 12 (2-inch-thick) slices.
