Recipe for a Simple Carrot Cake

175 grams (approximately equal to 3/4 cup) 80 grams, or 1/3 cup, of granulated sugar 180 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) of vegetable oil flour for all purposes

One orange's zest

two cups of 200 grams chopped carrots

A hundred milligrams, or one cup salted walnuts, with a little more for garnish

Ten grams (about two tablespoons) of salt, minced yeast sift

nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, 1 tbsp

With respect to the cream cheese icing:

200–250 g, or 7–9 oz, of room-temperature cream cheese

Powdered sugar, 50-65 grams (1/2 to 2/3 cup)

Instructions

Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Use parchment paper to line a loaf pan that measures 26×12 cm (10×5 inch).

Gather all of your ingredients and set them aside. Use a food processor or box grater to shred the carrots. Peel the orange peel away from the white pith, which may be bitter. Use a knife or food processor to finely chop the walnuts.

Whisk the sugar and eggs in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and slightly foamy. The cake will have a more airy texture after this stage.

While whisking, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. You can keep your cake moist and soft with the aid of the oil.

Put the flour, salt, baking powder, and spice blend into a separate basin and sift it. This makes sure that the spices and leavening chemicals are distributed evenly throughout the batter.

Combine the egg mixture with the grated carrots, zest of the orange, and chopped walnuts. Combine by gently stirring. As the cake bakes, the carrots will release some moisture, which gives it its distinctive texture.

After the wet components have been added to the dry ones, whisk gently to blend. A tough cake is the result of overmixing, so be cautious.

After preheating the loaf pan, pour in the batter and use a spatula to level the top.

Cook for 45 to 55 minutes in a preheated oven. How long it takes for a pan to bake will vary based on the dimensions of your oven. A toothpick or wooden stick inserted into the cake's middle will indicate when it is done. Either no crumbs at all or very little moisture should remain after removal.

Make the cream cheese icing while the cake bakes. Combine the powdered sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl and mix until combined. To make it sweeter or less sweet, add additional sugar if you want.

After the cake is finished baking, take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool for around 10 minutes. Once it has cooled, gently place it on a wire rack to finish cooling.

Gently coat the cake with the cream cheese frosting when it has cooled to room temperature. For a beautiful presentation, make swirls and peaks with the frosting.

Add a finishing touch by topping the frosting with more chopped walnuts. Your carrot cake will look prettier and have more texture with this addition.

A Guide to Making the Best Carrot Cake Ever

Using a grated carrot: Use carrots that have been grated just before use, not shredded, for the finest texture. The very moist cake gets its moisture from freshly shredded carrots.

Using a kitchen scale to measure the flour in particular will provide the most precise results. Measure the flour accurately by spooning it into the measuring cup and then leveling it off with a knife if you're using cups.

Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before you begin. The batter and icing will turn out smoother and the integration will be better.

When mixing the dry and wet components, stir just until combined; do not overmix. An overmixed cake will be rough and thick.

To get the desired consistency of the frosting, you may thin it down by chilling the cream cheese
