Baking soda helps the cake to rise. We don’t add baking powder, the cake doesn’t want it.
Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake style wonderful.
Oil retains the cake good and moist — any neutral-flavored oil will work. (Melted coconut oil works, too, however there can be a lightweight coconut taste within the baked cake.)
Sugar makes the cake moist, gentle, and scrumptious. I like a mixture of white and brown sugar, however you need to use one or the opposite.

Pecans and raisins are non-obligatory! I do know that some individuals love nuts and raisins in carrot cake, whereas others can not stand so as to add them. These are utterly non-obligatory, so go along with what you like.
Making the Cake Batter
The strategy for this carrot cake recipe couldn’t be less complicated! When you have a few bowls and might stir elements collectively then you possibly can completely make this cake! As you possibly can see from our recipe video, all that you must do is mix all of the elements. Right here’s how I love to do it:
Dry elements in a single bowl, moist elements in one other: I prefer to whisk my dry elements collectively in a single bowl till they’re nicely blended. Then I whisk all of the moist elements collectively in one other bowl.
Fold the dry and moist elements collectively: Then I change to a rubber spatula or massive spoon and fold the 2 — moist and dry elements — collectively till I don’t see any massive streaks of flour. (We use the identical technique when making this cinnamon espresso cake, our straightforward pineappleupside-down cake, and this buttery blueberry cake. Each recipes are so good!)
Add carrots, nuts, and raisins: Once I’ve obtained the batter prepared, I fold within the carrots, and if I’m utilizing them, the nuts and raisins.
Baking the Cake
In terms of baking the carrot cake, divide the batter between two buttered and floured cake pans and bake till performed. The cake layers bake within the oven for 35 to 40 minutes (they scent improbable). After baking, let the layers cool then frost together with your favourite frosting.
Frosting the Cake
We love our additional creamy cream cheese frosting. It’s mushy and creamy and doesn’t agency up like some cake frostings. (If that is what you’re on the lookout for, test the notes part of the recipe, we offer a recipe for conventional cream cheese frosting).
The frosting is definitely the identical one we used to high our Guinness Chocolate Cake. It’s made with solely three elements:
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Heavy cream
For those who’re not into frostings or should you don’t have the elements available, attempt the cake as-is with none frosting in any respect. Or, sift slightly little bit of powdered sugar on high. When Adam and I have been testing this recipe, we skipped the frosting the primary couple of occasions and fell in love with the cake utterly plain.
