SISTER BETH'S CARROT CAKE

Sister Beth's Carrot Cake image

One of my sisters, Beth, learned how to make carrot cake in home economics class in 1978. A few years ago I asked her to write down what she remembered from the recipe. Only remembering two-thirds of the ingredients, I completed the recipe by trial and error. It was worth all the effort. Simply delicious.

Tips:

Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give the cake a more vibrant color and flavor than store-bought, pre-shredded carrots.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the batter from becoming tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking will dry out the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Mother Berta's Carrot Cake is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. It is moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful golden color. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the carrot cake, and it adds a touch of sweetness and richness.
