Make your Easter extra sweet with this easy carrot cake recipe. Lightly sweet and moist, this a festive bake feels both comforting and as well as celebratory in every bite.
2 cups grated carrots 1¼ cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup powdered sugar ½ cup brown sugar ¾ cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon powder ½ tsp ginger powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans ¼ cup raisins ¼ tsp salt
Line the cake tin with butter paper and preheat the oven at 180°C. This helps taking out the cake easily and also bake evenly without sticking to the base.
In a bowl, crack open eggs and whisk it with powdered sugar and brown sugar until you get a creamy consistency. Also add oil to it and mix until smooth.
In another bowl, sift all purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger powder, and salt. Slowly add the wet mixture to this to make a lump-free and airy batter.
Now, add the grated carrots, chopped nuts, raisins, vanilla extract to this bowl and mix everything gently.
Pour the prepared batter on the prepared tin and bake atleast for about 30 to 35 minutes until you see the cake rising and the top turning golden.
Let the cake cool thoroughly before slicing or frosting, then serve as a festive Easter dessert.
