Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-assisted).
Mix the grated carrot, chopped walnuts, sultanas, sea salt, baking powder and brown rice flour in a large mixing bowl until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, oil and vanilla powder or bean paste. Stir into the dry mixture until thoroughly combined. Then pipe the mixture into your 12-hole doughnut tray, ¾ of the way up. Bake on the middle shelf for 20 minutes.
To make the cream cheese frosting, mix the cream cheese with the custard powder, agave nectar and lemon juice. Beat until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag and refrigerate.
Remove the tray of carrot cake doughnuts to a wire rack from the oven after 20 minutes. After 5 minutes carefully insert a sharp knife around the edge to release them. Leave on the wire rack until cooled.
When cool, pipe with the cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with a touch of ground cinnamon and chopped walnuts.
