Description

Delicious and moist carrot cake made with beautifully sweet purple carrots.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1-½ cup Oil
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cups Finely Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Unsalted Butter, Softened
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

For the cake: Combine oil and sugars, beating until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well. Sift dry ingredients together and add to batter gradually. Beat until smooth. Add carrots and nuts. Beat 30 seconds. Pour into 2 greased 9-inch round pans and bake for 45 minutes at 300ºF, or until a a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.

For the frosting: Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Turn mixer to low and beat in powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Beat on high for 5 minutes.

I like a lot of frosting on my cakes, so I frost them generously.
