Are you ready to indulge in the most scrumptious carrot cake ever? Look no further! This recipe is a game-changer, packed with flavorful ingredients and a moist texture that will leave you wanting more.
To start, you’ll need to combine 6 cups of grated carrots with 1 cup of brown sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Let the mixture rest for 60 minutes before adding in 1 cup of raisins.
Next, preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (or 350 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare two 10-inch cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs until they’re light and fluffy. Gradually add in 1 cup of white sugar, 1 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir in 1 cup of crushed pineapple, drained of its juice.
In another bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
Fold in the carrot mixture and 1 cup of chopped walnuts until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the cakes with cream cheese frosting or your preferred frosting.
Get ready to indulge in the most delicious carrot cake ever! This recipe is sure to become a favorite, with its perfect blend of spices, moist texture, and sweet flavor.
