Carrot cake is a moist and flavorful cake that is made with grated carrots, spices, and nuts, topped with cream cheese frosting. It’s a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
To make carrot cake, you’ll need ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vegetable oil, eggs, grated carrots, and chopped nuts.
Start by mixing together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, eggs, and grated carrots.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting. Enjoy this delicious and moist carrot cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
