My fiance LOVES carrot cake, and yesterday was his birthday so I decided to look for a carrot cake recipe. He was very specific that he wanted pineapple, coconut and lots of nuts in his carrot cake. I made this cake with a few modifications and he LOVES it!
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook carrot cake using 12 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Carrot cake:
- Prepare 350 grams Carrot
- Make ready 250 grms Flour
- Get 200 grams Sugar
- Prepare 4 Eggs
- Get 1 teaspoon Cinammon or nutmeg
- Get 3 tablespoons Orange zest
- Prepare 1 tablespoon orange juice
- Prepare 1 and half teaspoon of Baking powder
- Take 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- Prepare Half teaspoon of salt
- Get 3/4 cup Oil
- Take 2 tablespoons raisins
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:
- Grate the carrot. Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Whisk the eggs then add the sugar and whisk it until its creamy. Add the orange zest and orange juice. Pour in the vegetable oil then add the flour and mix it in very gently to avoid deflating the whisked egg. Add the carrot and also incorporate it by gently mixing it in.
- Pour in a baking pan and add the raisins. Give the pan a light tap and put in a pre heated oven. Bake until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
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.
