Make this delicious carrot cake recipe. Remembering that we will start by listing all the ingredients, so start by separating all the ingredients and then the complete preparation method.
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch sheet cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Add the vegetable oil and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and the batter is smooth.
Stir in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts or pecans (if using). Mix until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared sheet cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
After cooling slightly, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake.
Optionally, garnish the cake with additional chopped nuts or grated carrots for added decoration.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
