- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, grease and flour three 23 cm round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating. Add the water, carrot, vanilla, and beat for 5 more minutes. Incorporate the flour while beating at a low speed and finish by adding the walnuts.
- Divide the batter among the 3 pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool for 15 minutes before unmolding. If necessary, run a knife along the edges to make unmolding easier. Allow the cakes to cool completely before decorating with frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating.
- To assemble the cake, place one cake layer and cover it with frosting, then place another cake layer on top and cover it with frosting, and finally place the last cake layer and cover everything with frosting.
- Decorate with the remaining cup of walnuts, placing them around the entire height of the cake.
