Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (180ml) canola or vegetable oil
4 large eggs (, room temperature)
1 and 1/2 cups (300 grams) light brown sugar
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple (, drained)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups (300 grams) grated carrots (, lightly packed)
3/4 cup (90 grams) chopped walnuts
1/2 cup (75 grams) raisins ((optional))
1 (8-ounce) package brick style cream cheese (, softened to room temperature)
1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter (, softened to room temperature)
2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the grated carrots and chopped walnuts to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk or rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to over mix the batter.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread around into one even layer. Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until the top of the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If needed, tent with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning on top of the cake.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and allow to cool completely in the pan.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the butter and mix for about 30 seconds-1 minute until well combined and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Using a knife or an offset spatula, top the cooled carrot cake with the cream cheese frosting. Slice into pieces, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Measure accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are essential.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your carrot cake the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic carrots and pineapple for the best results.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts before adding them to the cake batter will enhance their flavor and give them a nice, crunchy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your 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 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
