Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole wheat or all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (see notes)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • zest of one medium orange
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped pistachios, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 cup sultanas (golden raisins)
  • 1/4 cup of honey, for drizzling
  • 1 35.3 oz (1000g) container full-fatgreek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon orange blossom water (see notes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cheesecloth

Directions

  • At least 24 hours before you bake your cake (48 is preferable), line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place over a bowl that is deep enough so that the bottom of the strainer sits a few inches from the bottom of the bowl, so there is room for the strained liquid (whey) to collect.
  • Stir together the yogurt, honey, orange blossom water and salt.
  • Pout the mixture into the lined strainer and fold the cheesecloth over the top, and twist the ends of the cheesecloth to seal.
  • Place in the refrigerator and let strain for at least 24 hours, up to 48.
  • An hour before youre ready to frost your cake, remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, transfer to a bowl and let come to room temperature. Discard the excess liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 325F. Line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper, lightly grease and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Give the mixture a good whisk to ensure all ingredients are combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine the oil, sugar and orange zest and beat until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition.
  • Add in the flour mixture and beat on medium-low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Remove from the stand mixer and fold in the carrots, pistachios and sultanas.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and cool in pans for 20 minutes, then turn out and let finish cooling completely.
  • Place on layer of carrot cake onto a serving dish. Top with half of the labneh and sprinkle with pistachios.
  • Add the second layer of cake, and spread the remaining labneh over the top. Garnish with chopped pistachios and drizzle with honey.
