You will never think of carrot cake the same way again after trying this recipe. A slice of cake with all the best ingredients:
- Tender softness is a texture that melts in your mouth. moist crumb.
- There is absolutely no dryness at all. many carrots that have been finely shredded (they add light flavor, and nice moisture and give it such a pretty natural color too).
- The ideal amount of sweetness.
- Excellent vanilla and spice combination to boost flavor.
- Stable but soft. topped with a rich frosting to complete.
- There is only one option here: cream cheese frosting.
How to Store
- Fridge storage is recommended for carrot cake. In order to prevent drying out, store it in a cake carrier. After that, let it sit at room temperature for a while before serving, unless of course, you prefer it cold (it tastes good either way).
How Long Does Carrot Cake Last?
- In the refrigerator, frosted carrot cake should last for approximately 5 days (unfrosted layers could be kept at room temperature for about 2 days).
Can It Be Frozen?
- Yes. Unfrosted layers of carrot cake can be frozen, then each layer can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and kept in an airtight container. Or you can freeze individual frosted slices.
Is Carrot Cake Healthy?
- No. Online, you can find healthier variations of carrot cake, but this one is not. Everything should be done in moderation.
Tips for the Best Carrot Cake
- Shred carrots very finely. This has a texture that is perfectly uniform, with cleaner slices and no obvious carrot chunks.
- For the best flavor, use carrots that are as fresh as you can.
- Measure ingredients precisely (do not wing it and stick to the suggested amounts). Use a kitchen scale if you have one for the most accuracy.
- After flour and carrots are added, do not over-mix the batter. Otherwise, the cake may be spongy and not rise as high.
- Cake pans should be prepared properly. Remember to grease the pan, line it with parchment (or foil), and sprinkle flour on top. No chance of the cake falling apart due to sticking.
- If you have cake pans, wrap them in cake strips to create more even layers and a higher rise. Before using, make sure to soak in water for a while.
- Just bake until cooked all the way through. Undercooked cakes will crumble, while overcooked cakes will be dry.
