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 get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have carrot cake using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot cake:
  1. Make ready 2 c flour
  2. Make ready 1 c sugar
  3. Get 2 tsp baking powder
  4. Prepare 1/2 tsp baking soda
  5. Take 1/2 tsp salt
  6. Get 2 tsp vanilla extract
  7. Prepare 1 c oil
  8. Get 2 c grated carrots
  9. Prepare 3 eggs
  10. Take 2 tsp ground cinnamon

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. Preheat your oven to 175°c. Grease and flour your baking dish
  2. In a bowl sift the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs until well combined
  4. Mix your dry ingredients with wet ingredients
  5. Fold in the carrots
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40-50mins (I used my charcoal jiko)
  7. Let it cool in the tin for 10mins then turn on a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy

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.
