E.) Best carrot cake recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts (I recommend chopping these up or crushing them)
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1-1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp vanilla
  • 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded peeled carrots
  • 1-1/2 cups diced fresh pineapple or drained crush canned pineapple (this is one 20 oz. can)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez
Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperate (I used 4 packages of 1/3 less fat Neufchatel cheese)
  • 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar (I used 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup heaving whipping cream (I used 1/4 cup + 4 tsp)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez (I used 1/4 cup + 4 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (I used 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp)
To Make the Cake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Arrange the nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast them for 7 to 9 minutes, until golden and aromatic. Set aside to cool.

  • Place one oven rack one-third from the bottom of the oven and the second two-thirds from the bottom. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line three 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper rounds, grease with butter, and dust with flour (or spray with Baker's Joy).

  • Stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut, and nuts in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, oil, carrots, pineapple, and cream of coconut. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Stagger the cake layers on the oven racks so that no layer is directly over another. Set 2 layers on one rack and the third on the other. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cakes are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans on racks for 5 minutes, then invert them onto the racks and cool completely, about 15 to 20 minutes.
To Make the Frosting:
  • Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed about 1 minute. Add the whipping cream, cream of coconut, and salt; beat until combined.

  • Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thick blanket of frosting on top. Add the second layer, spread thickly with frosting, and top with the third layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with an even layer of frosting. If you're feeling energetic and there is frosting left over, use a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip to pipe a decoration around the top rim of the cake.

  • The cake can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 4 days. Let it cool in the refrigerator about 1 hour before covering, to ensure the frosting has hardened and will not stick to the plastic wrap.
F.) Easy carrot cake cupcakes

  • Carrot cakes first became commonly available in restaurants and cafeterias in the United States in the early 1960s. A novelty item at first, but people liked them so much that carrot cake became a standard dessert. Carrot cake closely resembles a quick bread which is usually denser than a traditional cake and has a coarser crumb. This recipe is for carrot cupcakes which is an amazing alternative to the normal carrot cake. I’ve also added the recipe for a cream cheese frosting.
What You Need:
For The Cupcakes:

  • 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1 & 3/4 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 2 cups of shredded carrot
  • 1 cup of flaked coconut
  • 1 cup of walnuts, chopped - (optional)
  • 8 ounces of crushed pineapple, drained
For The Frosting:
  • 4 ounces of unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
 What to Do:

STEP 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a muffin tin or you can use cupcake liners. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together. Make a well in the center and add the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix till smooth. Stir in the carrots, coconut, walnuts (if using) and pineapple.

STEP 2) Pour the mixture into the muffin tin and bake for about 45 minutes, the center may sink a bit. Let cool completely.

 STEP 3) Make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Frost the cupcakes and they’re ready to be served.
 

STEP 4) Enjoy!

H.) Moist carrot cake recipe


  • This most requested Moist Carrot Cake recipe reminds me of the southern classic Hummingbird Cake, however not as rich.

  • Now I most often make my Moist Carrot Cake Recipe in a bundt pan drizzled with thick and creamy glaze icing.
  • It's a very adaptable recipe. I already reduced the fat content. You can simplify it by using only cinnamon, one kind of sugar, all applesauce for the pineapples and apples. Omit the coconut, add raisins even 1/2 cup of oatmeal if you like. This basic carrot cake recipe holds up to the demands of a true Queen in the Kitchen!
