Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Carrot Cake is a type of cake that makes use of grated carrots as the primary ingredient. Like all cakes, this carrot cake recipe requires a batter which is made up of flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and baking powder. This is a good moist cake to feast-on since the hefty amount of carrots softens when baked thus providing additional moisture and flavor.

This carrot cake recipe makes use of additional ingredients that are not common in ordinary carrot cakes. The walnuts in particular gives this cake a richer flavor that goes well with the cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

  • >>Cake:
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 pcs raw eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • >>Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the cake by combining flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl than whisk until everything is properly distributed. Beat the eggs using an electric mixer in a separate mixing bowl. Add the granulated and light brown sugar then continue mixing until fully blended. Add the vegetable oil, fresh milk, and vanilla extract then continue mixing until texture becomes smooth. Put-in the flour-baking soda-cinnamon-baking powder-salt mixture then continue mixing using low speed. Fold-in the carrots and walnuts. Pour the batter on a cake pan with shaped wax paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the batter for 35 to 50 minutes (you know that the cake is done when toothpick inserted comes out clean). Remove from the oven and allow to cool down.
  • Make the frosting by whisking the cream cheese using an electric mixer. Add-in the butter and vanilla extract then continue mixing until the mixture is well blended. Add the confectioners sugar then mix until texture becomes smooth. Set aside
  • Apply the frosting over the cake. Place the first cake on a flat surface and apply frosting on the top part spreading it evenly. Place the second cake on top of the first cake and align properly. Apply the remaining frosting on top and on the sides of the cake. Garnish with chopped walnuts on top and on the sides.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour then serve. Share and enjoy!

    I tried to find walnuts in my local stores but there ain’t any. I used the classic Happy nuts instead which you can even buy in a sari-sari store hahaha. I saved a lot from it. Thanks again for this. :)))

    Can I use self-raising flour instead of all-purpose?

    hi there kuya, I tried baking your cake today and it’s perfect. Now the problem is the Icing I made, I think it’s the soft cheese I used it’s very liquidy, but when I left it for a few hours it turns like the one you did. Now what I want to know is what’s the name of the brand of the cream cheese you used. I live in the UK so other brands don’t reach here, my mates recommends me using “Philadelphia” if it were you what would you use? -- hope to hear from you soon and thank you for the wonderful recipé.
