Carrot Cake is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It is appreciated by millions every day. It’s simple, it’s fast, it tastes delicious. They’re fine and they look wonderful. Carrot Cake is something that I have loved my whole life.

To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook carrot cake using 12 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:
  1. Prepare 160 ml sunflower oil
  2. Take 3 eggs
  3. Make ready 150 g carrot
  4. Get Zest of an orange
  5. Get 100 g raisins/sultanas
  6. Take 175 g light muscovado sugar
  7. Make ready 175 g self raising flour
  8. Prepare 1 tsp Cinammon
  9. Prepare 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
  10. Get 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  11. Make ready 100 g icing sugar
  12. Take Orange juice

In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

Steps to make Carrot Cake:
  1. Grate the carrot.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180C. I wait for this step until I've grated the carrot or it reaches temperature too quickly! Line the tin with baking paper.
  3. Combine the grated carrot with the sugar, orange zest, oil, eggs and raisins in a large bowl.
  4. Add the flour, bicarb and spices. I always find freshly grated nutmeg gives more flavour.
  5. Mix all the ingredients together.
  6. Pour into a 18cm square baking tray and bake for roughly 40-45 minutes. The cake should be springy in the centre and a skewer should come out clean.
  7. Juice half the orange.
  8. Combine the orange juice with roughly 100g icing sugar- add gradually! You're looking for a consistency of double cream to drizzle over the cake

For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
