Time 1h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups shredded carrots
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Place butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan constantly, until butter is bubbling, smells nutty, and browned bits begin to form on the bottom of the pan, 5 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour butter into a heat-safe bowl. Allow brown butter to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 12x16-inch pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat cooled brown butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until mixture is light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla. Pour in 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of it comes out clean, 23 to 27 minutes. Transfer onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • While cake is cooling, repeat step 1 to brown butter for the frosting. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Add in cooled brown butter and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt. Beat frosting at medium-high speed until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spread frosting over the cooled cake. Chill cake until ready to serve.

Sheet Pan Zucchini Carrot Cake image

This sheet pan cake with zucchini, carrots, and coconut is incredibly moist since it is soaked with freshly squeezed orange juice right after baking. Make sure you squeeze out most of the liquid of the vegetables, otherwise the cake will get too moist.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, have blemishes, or are starting to turn brown.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them blend into the batter and distribute their flavor evenly. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the carrots.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh carrots, eggs, and butter will give your carrot sheet cake the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick or cake tester to make sure it is done before removing it from the oven.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting. You can also chill the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours before frosting it.

Conclusion:

Carrot sheet cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and spicy flavor, carrot sheet cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
