Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pans
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
12 ounces carrots (about 5 medium), peeled and shredded on the fine holes of a box grater or food processor (about 3 cups)
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
9 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (1 3/4 cups), melted and cooled slightly
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush two 8-inch round cake panswith butter. Line pans with parchment rounds; brush parchment
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined, 30 seconds. Beat eggs with granulated sugar on medium-high speed until pale, fluffy, and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. While still beating, slowly drizzle in butter, then beat in vanilla until combined. Reduce speed to low and add all but 1/2 cup of flour mixture, beating just until combined. Toss carrots with remaining flour mixture to evenly coat, then fold into batter. Divide batter evenly between pans; smooth tops with an offset spatula.
  • Bake until cakes are puffed slightly and a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 33 to 37 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto rack; remove parchment and let cool completely.
  • Frosting:Meanwhile, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. While still beating, gradually add chocolate until smooth, scraping down bowl as needed. Add butter and lemon juice; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; beat in confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until smooth and combined.
  • Cut each cake horizontally into 2 layers with a serrated knife. Place bottom layer of one cake, cut-side up, on a cake stand, preferably revolving, or a plate lined with parchment strips. Spread evenly with 3/4cup frosting. Top with other half of cake, cut-side down; spread evenly with another 3/4 cup frosting. Repeat layering and frosting with second cake. Spread 1 cup frosting evenly over top and sides to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate, uncovered, until frosting is firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Transfer remaining frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a petal tip, such as Ateco or Wilton #104. Starting at top center of cake and holding tip vertically, pipe frosting while slowly turning stand or plate, gradually working outward toward edges to create a swirl effect. Repeat process down side of cake, starting at top edge. (Sides will be easier to decorate if you keep large end of tip touching or almost touching cake, holding pointed tip perpendicular to cake while tracing down side.) If frosting starts to get too loose, refrigerate briefly just until firm, but not long enough to harden. Cake can be stored, uncovered, at room temperature up to 12 hours or refrigerated, uncovered, up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful fruitcake, use a mix of dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, and apricots.
  • Soak the dried fruits in rum or orange juice for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the batter. This will help to plump them up and add extra flavor.
  • Use a combination of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to give the fruitcake a warm and festive flavor.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to ensure that the fruitcake has a tender crumb.
  • Fold in the flour and spices gradually to avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense fruitcake.
  • Bake the fruitcake at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to prevent the fruitcake from drying out.
  • Once the fruitcake is baked, let it cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
