2 tsp baking powder

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. For the batter, mix together 5 tbsp of butter, the sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Stir in the eggs one by one and add 2 1/2 tbsp of orange juice and the orange zest. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and hazelnuts and pecans and fold into the cake mixture. Stir in the carrots.
2
Pour the batter into a greased, 10 inch diameter springform cake pan, smooth the top and bake for 35-40 mins, until a wooden skewer comes out clean. Cool slightly on a rack, and loosen the pan. Immediately sprinkle with 1/2 cup of orange juice and leave to cool completely. Cut the cake in half horizontally.
3
For the frosting, beat the remaining butter for 3-4 mins until creamy. Stir in the powdered sugar and cream cheese and mix well. Transfer the lower half of the cake to a cake plate and spread with 1/4 of the frosting. Put the upper half on top and spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Chill it for 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and decorated with marzipan carrots to serve.
