Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a 23cm diameter round baking tin and line the base with greaseproof paper. Cut a 72cm length of greaseproof papr, fold in half lengthways and line sides of the tin. Place the folded side of the greaseproof paper to the base of tin (height may need to be trimmed if too high for the oven).
Double lining the tin will prevent the cake from overcooking on the outside.
Using an electric mixer beat oil and Chelsea Raw Sugar until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, until mixture is thick and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine wholemeal flour, cinnamon, salt, carrot and walnuts.
Combine the two mixtures, add baking soda and stir until all ingredients are combined.
Pour into greased tin and bake for 80-90 minutes until cooked (put skewer through centre of cake, if it comes out clean cake is cooked). Allow cake to cool completely.
