Introduction
This moist and flavorful carrot cake combines the natural sweetness of carrots, the crunch of walnuts, and the tropical hint of pineapple. Perfect for celebrations or as a comforting treat, this cake brings warmth and joy to every bite. Its luscious cream cheese frosting makes it irresistibly delightful.
Ingredients
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts. Ensure everything is evenly distributed without overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
