1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 cups grated raw carrots
1 (19 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) if desired
VANILLA CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) packag9 in. e cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups confectioners' sugar (sifted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. In mixing bowl, beat eggs and add sugar and beat till white and fluffy Let stand until sugar dissolves, about 10 minutes. Stir in oil, carrots, drained pineapple and nuts. Stir in dry sifted ingredients and beat until well blended--3 minutes or so with blender. Turn into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans or one 13-x9-inch pan. (I used 2 9 inch spring form pans) Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pans about 10 minutes, then turn onto wire racks to cool completely before icing Frosting Combine butter, cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl and beat until well blended. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating vigorously. If frosting is too thick, thin with a few drops of milk to spreading consistency.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cake will taste. Invest in high-quality butter, sugar, flour, and eggs.
  • Follow the Recipe Carefully: Don't make any substitutions or changes to the recipe unless you know what you're doing. Even a small change can have a big impact on the final product.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined, then stop.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put the cake in. Bake the cake for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting or the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With a little practice, you'll be able to bake a delicious and beautiful fourteen-carat cake that will impress your friends and family. Just remember to follow the tips above and have fun!
