Moist Carrot Cake Recipe
Ingredients You Will Need:
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of baking soda
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 ½ cups of canola oil
2 cups of sugar
Pinch of brown sugar
4 eggs
2 ½ cups of grated carrots
½ cup of chopped walnuts
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Follow this by layering a cake pan with grease and flour, and then set aside.
Take your flour, cinnamon, soda and salt, and mix together in a bowl. Make sure all of the ingredients are fully mixed, and then set aside. Next, take another bowl, and mix together the oil and both sugars. Follow this by adding the eggs, carrots, walnuts and the flour mixture. Mix the ingredients until fully blended or until the mixture thickens into a batter.
Next, pour this cake batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 40 minutes or until the cake appears to spring back when you touch it.
Let the cake cool for 30 minutes before you try to remove it from the pan. Following removal, allow to completely cool before adding any icing.
Most types of icing go well with this cake, but cream cheese and vanilla icing are some of the most popular choices. Feel free to top the icing with chopped walnuts or shredded carrots.
