Carrot Cake
One of my seminary students wanted carrot cake for his birthday party in seminary. I tried a couple of different recipes and have adjusted them as I usually do. So this has turned out to be a very flavorful, moist, delicious carrot cake. Don't forget the cream cheese frosting!
Recipe:
2 cups AP flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2-1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/3 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 pound carrots, peeled and finely grated (about 3 cups)
8 ounces canned pineapple with juice, blended smooth
1 cup chopped Walnuts (optional)
1 cup raisins (optional)
Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together into a bowl. Whip eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla and sugar together thoroughly in mixer bowl. Add flour mixture to mixing bowl and mix together until well combined, scraping bowl as necessary. Mix carrots, pineapple, nuts and raisins, if using, together and fold into batter. Spread batter into greased pan (sheet pan or cake pans) and Bake at 350°F for 25-60 minutes, depending on the pan size you use, until the middle isn't shiny anymore but just barely done. Completely cool pan on wire rack and frost with 1 recipe Cream Cheese Frosting.
