Ingredients
baking soda1 teaspoon
canola oil1.25 c
carrots3 cups
eggs4 large
flour1.5 cups
granulated sugar1 c
ground cardamom0.5 t
ground cinnamon2 t
ground cloves0.25 t
ground ginger0.25 teaspoon
ground nutmeg0.5 t
brown sugar1 c
raisins0.5 cup
salt1.5 t
vanilla2 t
walnuts0.5 cup
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350F. Line an 8" cake tin with parchment and spray with a non-flavored cooking spray. If you are making cupcakes, place liners in your cupcake tin. Set this aside.In a large bowl, mix the sugars, salt, oil, and vanilla using a whisk and making sure no lumps remain.
Step 2
Add in the eggs, one at a time and whisk well, incorporating each before adding the next.In a separate bowl, using a clean whisk, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and cardamom (if using).
Step 3
Whisking removes the lumps, if any, and helps blend the dry ingredients.Once well whisked, place half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
Step 4
Add the grated carrots and mix this in.Then fold in the remaining dry ingredients. Chop your nuts finely, if you are using them.I like to toss my add-ins (for example raisins and walnuts or other fruit and nuts) in about 1 T of flour to coat. This helps to prevent the add-ins from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. Fold your add-ins into your batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake or cupcake pans and bake, following the baking times listed here: Cupcakes: 18-20 minutes, 8" cakes: 34-36 minutes
Step 6
Check that your cakes are done using the toothpick test.
Step 7
Let them cool in their pans until they reach room temperature. Then frost as desired.
