To begin your Carrot Walnut Cake, Set oven to 160°C CircoTherm®. Lightly butter 2 x 22cm round cake tins, then line the bases with baking paper. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk eggs and sugar until pale. Add oil and continue to whisk until combined. Sift flour, bicarb and baking powder together. Stir into the egg mixture. Add almond meal and cinnamon and stir until combined. Add grated carrots, walnuts and lemon juice and stir until well mixed. Divide between the cake tins, smooth the tops and place in the oven. Cook for 45 minutes, until a skewer tested comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and allow to sit on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then remove from tins and allow to cool completely before icing. For the icing, place the mascarpone, cream cheese, icing and zest in an electric mixer and beat until smooth and creamy. When the cake is cool, sandwich the halves together with half the icing, then spread the rest of the icing on top. Decorate with walnut halves to complete your carrot walnut cake.   Photography by Steen Vestergaard. Styling by Caroline Velik. Food preparation by Caroline Velik.

Preheat oven on CircoTherm® to 160⁰C. Place wire rack on shelf position 2. Grease a 20cm round removable based cake tin and line base with baking paper.

Remove from heat and continue to stir until the remaining chocolate has melted. Transfer ganache to a bowl and refrigerate until ganache thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir ganache well before decorating the cake. Ganache can be poured onto cake while it is a little runny or it can be spread onto the cake with a palette knife when it is thick. Decorate with Almond flakes as desired.

Preheat oven to 150°C CircoTherm® and set steam assist to medium. Grease and line a 20cm round deep sided cake tin, ensuring the sides of the baking paper are higher than the rim, because it will rise.

Add the sugar syrup & stir until almost melted then remove the bowl from the simmering water & finish melting off the heat, stirring until completely melted & combined. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, add eggs with the remaining 100 g of sugar & whisk on high speed until eggs triple in volume. Turn the mixer to low & slowly pour chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Don’t over mix. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and place on third shelf in oven. Bake for about an hour or until just set, it will have a slight wobble in the centre. Remove from oven and cool completely in the tin.

Roast hazelnuts in a saucepan until you can smell their aroma and the thin peel starts to burst. Place on a tea towel and rub off the brown peel – it needn’t be removed entirely. Allow nuts to cool down and blend them in your food blender. Wash lemon in hot water, dry it, grind the zest and squeeze the juice. Take off three tablespoons of sugar and keep it for later. Mix butter with salt and the rest of the sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one after the other and continue stirring. Mix ground hazelnuts, lemon zest, vanilla pulp, two tablespoons of apple cake spice, flour and baking soda (or cream of tartar) in a bowl. Preheat your oven to 160°C CircoTherm. Mix mashed apples and two tablespoons lemon juice with the creamy butter mix. Add the dry nut mix and stir until the dough is even. Line a tart tin with baking paper and pour in the dough. Smoothen the surface. Remove apple core with a remover, peel the apples and cut them into 5-7mm thick rings. Cover apple rings with lemon juice immediately and place on the dough. Mix the rest of the sugar with the remaining apple cake spice and sprinkle on the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes on shelf position 2 until golden brown. Remove from the oven, cool down for ten minutes and place the cake with the parchment paper on a cooling rack. Allow to cool down completely, garnish with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool in the pan on a wire cake rack for 10 to 15 minutes, and then invert the cake onto a cake plate. Scatter over the orange segments and serve.
