NO OIL CARROT CAKE



No Oil Carrot Cake image

As I was traveling across Canada many years ago, I found myself at a small hotel in Madoc, Ontario watching a baseball game. This recipe comes from that hotel and I have thanked the chef many times for it. It is the only one I've come across that does not call for oil of any kind. It can be made in loaf pans or a tube or bundt pan. Spices can be adjusted to suit your own taste and the hardest part of this recipe is grating the carrots. Because of the amount of carrots in this recipe, you may find a small film of gel on the bottom of the cake but it can easily be removed. It can be iced with regular cream cheese icing, drizzled with confectioner's icing or left plain. It freezes very well. I hope whoever tries it, enjoys it. (Note: Raisins work well, too, in addition or in place of the nuts.)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with any baking recipe, it's important to measure and prepare all of your ingredients before you begin. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss any steps.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will give your carrot cake the best flavor. Look for carrots that are bright orange and crisp, and use real butter and eggs for a rich, moist cake.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly. Also, don't open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and cream cheese frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're following a recipe or experimenting with your own variations, there are a few tips and tricks that you can use to make the best carrot cake possible.
