Carrot Cake is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. They are fine and they look fantastic. Carrot Cake is something that I have loved my whole life.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have carrot cake using 9 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:

1. Take 175 g brown sugar (unrefined cane sugar)
2. Take 175 ml sunflower oil
3. Take 3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
4. Prepare 140 g carrots (grated)
5. Take 80 g dried fruit (raisins/prunes/cranberry)
6. Make ready zest of 1 orange (graded)
7. Prepare 175 g self-raising flour
8. Get 1 tsp baking soda
9. Get 1 tsp ground cinnamon

In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. 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:

1. Oil a medium-sized cake tin, and line it with baking paper. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large bowl put sugar, sunflower oil and beaten eggs. Mix with a wooden spoon. Stir in grated carrots, dried fruit (I used chopped prunes as I don't like raisins) and grated orange zest.
3. Add flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix everything together, the mixture will be soft and almost runny.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes.
5. Allow the cake to cool before serving. You can top it with icing or just sprinkle some icing sugar.

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. What Ingredients Make The Perfect Carrot Cake?
