A moist and spiced homemade cake made with grated carrot, walnuts and cinnamon. Thanks to the carrot's natural sweetness, this cake stays fresh for a long time and is perfect for afternoon tea or after breakfast.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Whisk the wet ingredients

5 min

Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and foamy. Add the vegetable oil and keep mixing.

2

Add the carrot and walnuts

5 min

Add the finely grated carrot and coarsely chopped walnuts to the mixture and fold in with a spatula.

3

Add the dry ingredients

5 min

Sift in the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder and mix into a homogeneous batter without overmixing. Caution: overmixing after adding the flour will make the cake dense.

4

Bake

40 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for about forty minutes, until a toothpick test comes out clean.

5

Let it cool and serve

5 min

Let the cake rest in the pan for fifteen minutes before removing it; once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar and slice.

Reminder

Grate the carrot finely so it melts into the cake and adds moisture to the batter. Contains gluten (flour), egg, and tree nuts (walnuts). Slice the cake only after it has cooled completely; the flavor settles in even more if it sits for a day.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

After grating the carrot, don't squeeze out its liquid; that liquid keeps the cake moist. If you chop the walnuts coarsely, you'll get noticeable crunch in every slice.

Ölçüleri gram cinsinden verseniz daha net olur, bardak ölçüsü bende farklı çıktı.

Dondurucuda saklanabilir mi, yoksa taze mi tüketilmeli?

Merhaba, evet fırın yerine tencerede de yapabilirsiniz, ateşi kısık tutmanız yeterli.
