SERVINGS
12 slices
INGREDIENTS
1 ¼ cups - brown sugar (250g)
1 cup - vegetable oil (236ml)
3 - eggs
1 ½ cup - all-purpose flour (207g)
2 ½ teaspoon - baking powder
1 teaspoon - baking soda
2 teaspoon - cinnamon powder
¼ teaspoon - salt
2 cups - carrots, grated (215g)
½ cup - walnuts, chopped
Frosting
50 gram - unsalted butter, room temp
90 grams - icing sugar
½-1 teaspoon - lemon juice (add slowly to not make it too
thin)
170 grams - cream cheese softened
½ teaspoon - lemon zest
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 - 8 inch round pans with
parchment paper.
2. Beat oil and brown sugar well. Add in the 3 eggs and beat
until well combined.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking
powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in to 2-3
intervals and gently mix just until almost combined. Add in
the grated carrots and walnuts and mix until just combined.
Make sure to not over-mix.
5. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
comes out with just a few crumbs. This ensures the cake
doesn't lose too much moisture.
6. Let it cool for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
To make frosting:
1. Beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix
in the icing sugar and lemon juice and beat until creamy. Zest
in a bit of lemon zest.
2. Frost the cake layers however you wish and enjoy! Let me
now how it was by reviewing the recipe!
NOTES
1. Slowly add the lemon juice in the frosting so it doesn't end up
too thin. Cream cheese frostings have the tendency to be soft
and "thinner" than butter based so you want to make sure you
are able to frost the cake with it.
