Take a large metal bowl to beat the ingredients for the future cake layer with a mixer. Crack chilled raw chicken eggs into it, add granulated sugar, and pour in vegetable oil. Beat the ingredients thoroughly until you get a white, fluffy mixture.

Step 2
In a separate deep bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the crust. Sift the flour into it so that it absorbs oxygen, making the crust fluffy and crumbly. Add baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the flour. Mix everything thoroughly.

Without turning off the mixer or food processor and continuing to beat the eggs with sugar and butter, gradually add the dry ingredients. The batter should have a consistency similar to sour cream.

Step 4
Peel the carrots and wash them. Grate them on a fine grater and squeeze out the excess juice. Chop the nuts finely using a knife or a meat grinder. A blender or coffee grinder will also work. Add the carrots and nuts to the dough. Mix again.

Step 5
Take a medium-sized removable baking pan and grease it with vegetable oil so the cake doesn't stick to the pan during baking. Pour the batter into the pan and bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for about an hour and a half.

To make the cake cream, you need to mix cream cheese with powdered sugar in a separate clean container. Add vanilla and melted butter to the mixture. Beat all these ingredients until they thicken slightly and the cream comes together.

Step 7
After the sponge cake has completely cooled, cut it into three layers using a thin, long knife. You can also use a piece of cooking thread for this. Generously spread cream on all three layers and stack them together. Decorate the cake to your liking and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
