Today, Let's Make Carrot Cake With Cream Chargers
Ingredients You’ll Need
- lour – You only need regular all-purpose flour.
- Baking soda – It’s a leavening agent and causes the cake batter to rise when baking.
- Salt – You need salt to bring out the flavors of everything else.
- Cinnamon – You can add other spices as well such as nutmeg or cloves.
- Sugar – I used only white granulated sugar, but you can sub some with brown sugar if you want.
- Eggs – You’ll need a couple large eggs to bind everything together and help the cake rise.
- Oil – I used vegetable oil, but any mild vegetable oil like canola will do. Coconut oil is a great substitution.
- Fruits and nuts – Load this cake up with walnuts, raisins and crushed pineapple. Don’t skip the pineapple, it gives the cake extra sweetness and moistness.
- Carrots – The most important ingredient. I find it easier to use a box grater to freshly grate my carrots, don’t buy the already shredded kind, shred your own carrots.
- Cream Chargers - Make your cake more delicious.
How To Make Carrot Cake
- Preheat your oven and prepare your baking pans. Use two 8 inch cake pans which I lined with parchment paper circles. This will make it easier to take the cake out of the pans.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together. This includes the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- Mix all the wet ingredients together. This includes the sugar, eggs and vegetable oil. Sugar is part of the wet ingredients because it dissolves as you mix it in with the oil and eggs.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture. But Do not over mix. Mix only until there’s no more flour visible in the batter.
- Add the carrots, nuts and fruits. Stir in the carrots, walnuts, raisins and pineapple.
- Bake. Then Pour the batter in the prepared baking pans and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
How to Make Cream Cheese Frosting
All you need are 4 simple ingredients; cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Then Whip them all up and that’s all it takes.
- To assemble the cake, start by placing 1 cake layer onto your serving cake platter, then spread some of the cream cheese frosting, about 1 1/2 cups, evenly over the cake layer.
- Then add the other cake layer. Then, using a spatula, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake and up the sides.
