2. For the batter, sift flour, cornmeal, spices, baking powder and soda into a bowl. Stir in ground almonds, brown sugar, carrot, half the walnuts and the egg yolks. In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Lightly fold into flour mixture. Use to fill paper liners 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
