Carrot Cake is one of the most favored of current trending meals on earth. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. They are nice and they look wonderful. Carrot Cake is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have carrot cake using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:

1. Take 175 grams light muscovado sugar
2. Make ready 175 ml sunflower oil
3. Get 3 eggs
4. Prepare 140 grams grated carrot
5. Make ready 1 zest of half an orange
6. Prepare 100 grams sultanas or raisins
7. Get 175 grams self raising flour
8. Take 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
9. Prepare 1 tsp cinnamon
10. Prepare 1/2 tsp nutmeg (freshly ground is best)

Try it and I think you will agree that it is the best!! In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Steps to make Carrot Cake:

1. preheat oven to 180°c/350°f and line a deep 9 inch cake tin with greaseproof paper
2. beat sugar and oil together to remove all lumps. add eggs, carrot, raisins and orange zest. combine
3. sieve together the flour, bicarb, cinnamon and nutmeg into the wet mixture. fold together until smoothish
4. pour mix into the cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until knife comes out clean or edges come away from tin
5. once done remove and leave to cool in a wire rack
6. carefully using a serrated bread knife to cut lengthways for filling. if you're not confident just divide mix into two tins instead of one just reduce cooking time and keep checking
7. classic filling is cream cheese frosting (check my other recipe) but leave whole and dust with icing sugar to reduce the calories

I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. 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.
