HOMEMADE CARROT CAKE RECIPEMy homemade carrot cake recipe is outstanding. So moist and tender, and the frosting is creamy and rich - just like it should be. You'll find many easy cake recipes that will awe and delight your family and friends.
The pineapple juice you squeeze out of the crushed pineapple can be used for another recipe. CAKE: 4 eggs 3/4 cup canola oil 1/2 cup homemade applesauce 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar, packed 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 TBS cinnamon, ground 3 cups carrots, grate with a cheese grater 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or any nut that you prefer) 1 (8oz) can crushed pineapple, squeeze out the juice 1/4 tsp nutmeg FROSTING INGREDIENTS: 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted 8 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 3/4 cup walnuts, chopped PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla, brown and white sugars, applesauce and canola oil until mixed completely. Next, add the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir again until combined. Add the carrots and crushed pineapple, mix again, and last but not least - add the walnuts. Pour into the two cake pans and place in oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let rest in the pans for 15 minutes, and then turn out the cakes to cool completely. Included with my easy carrot cake recipe is this delicious frosting. FROSTING: In a bowl - combine the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Fold in the chopped walnuts and place in refrigerator until cake is cooled enough to frost. NOTE: You may easily freeze the cake only - until you need it. Just defrost and frost it. It tastes like the day you made it. One of my favorite homemade cake recipes. If you want a more "cream cheese" flavored frosting, please see my other Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting. It's fantastic. |
