CARROT CAKE



Carrot Cake image

Carrot Cake is one of those classic recipes that works so well for any celebration. The bright orange color offset by creamy white frosting makes Carrot Cake the star of any dessert tray. As the name implies, the shredded carrots give this easy Carrot Cake recipe its bright color, but the taste is subtle. Warm cinnamon and vanilla help create a swoon-worthy flavor as you bite into the moist, dense cake. One of the best parts of Carrot Cake is the famous sweet-and-tangy cream cheese frosting. Follow our homemade recipe, or save time, and substitute Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting instead.

CARROT CAKE (CAKE MIX)



Carrot Cake (Cake Mix) image

this is delicious, I started making it with a Duncan Hines carrot cake mix in the 1980's and had to switch to Betty Crocker when Duncan stopped making it. I actually made it for Miss Picky's first birthday and she will be 25 in June. The pineapple and raisins really make it moist and the the chopped pecans add a different texture. Try it with cream cheese frosting.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Fresh, tender carrots are best for this cake. Avoid carrots that are woody or have a bitter taste.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Use a combination of spices. The spices in this cake (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) give it a warm, inviting flavor. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as cardamom, allspice, or cloves.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

Carrot dump cake is a delicious, easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and spicy flavor, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple, yet impressive dessert, give carrot dump cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
