Steps:

  • 1. Grate carrots, in a medium bowl combine grated carrots with light brown sugar. Set aside for 1 hour, then stir in raisins & craisins. (I prefer to grate my carrots either by hand or in a food processor. buying the julianne carrots makes your cake lumpy and less flavorful)
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 in cake pans. (You can easily use a bundt cake pan, muffin tin or loaf pan for this recipe)
  • 3. In a medium size bowl, sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda,and pumpkin pie spices.
  • 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and foamy, gradually add white sugar, oil and vanilla beat to incorporate each addition. With a spatula fold in pineapples. Add the sifted dry ingredients, stirring into the wet mixture until absorbed. Fold in the carrot mixture (carrots, brown sugar & raisins/craisins) and walnuts.
  • 5. Pour your batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes until cake tests done by inserting a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
  • 6. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. When completely cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your carrot cake. Use fresh carrots, butter, and eggs for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your cake pan, so be sure to check it regularly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: A cream cheese frosting is the classic choice for carrot cake. It's rich, creamy, and perfectly complements the sweet and spicy flavors of the cake.
