I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.
Steps to make Carrot cake:
- Dry ingredients - in same bowl: flour, soda, cinnamon, spice mix, nutmeg, walnuts and raisins
- In large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whisk together the eggs, then add sugar, until pale and fluffy. With the mixer still on, pour the oil into the bowl, in a steady stream, and mix until it is completely incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients into this bowl, mix it all good, then add carrots, mix it.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4. Grease mixture in two or three 23cm springform
- Prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and cinnamon until you have a smooth, spreadable mix. Assemble the cake by spreading each layers with cream cheese frosting.
- p.s On base of the springform put the baking paper, wall of springform coat with butter.
For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
