Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22 cm cake tin and line base with baking paper.

Step 2 of 4

Using an electric hand beater, beat sugar and oil together until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 3 of 4

Stir in flour, mixed spice and baking powder until combined. Add quinoa, carrot, walnuts and sultanas. Mix well. Transfer mixture to tin and bake for 1 hour or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool in tin for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.

Step 4 of 4

Meanwhile make frosting; beat cream cheese until smooth. Add icing sugar and lemon juice. Beat well. Spread the frosting over cooled cake. Serve sliced. Note: Bring quinoa and liquid to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
