But for the past few days I've finally been feeling like my old self and I'm ready to BAKE! So my first post back is for Easter being that it's tomorrow. I decided to make a Carrot Cake in honor of the easter bunny! I personally don't like carrot cake, so I really just made this for my husband who has been asking me to make this for a while now.
Cake:
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shelled walnuts, chopped (chopped for topping)
1 1/2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
2 cups of finely grated carrots
1 cup of drained crushed pineapple
Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
2 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shelled walnuts, chopped (chopped for topping)
1 1/2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
2 cups of finely grated carrots
1 cup of drained crushed pineapple
Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
2 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9 inch cake pans. Butter and flour pans.
2 Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Fold in chopped walnuts, coconut, carrots and pineapple.
3 Pour batter into pans. Set on the middle rack of oven and bake for 45-50 minutes (shift positions of cakes front-to-back if necessary about halfway through), until edges have pulled away from sides and a toothpick or sharp knife tip inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a cake rack.
4 To prepare frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Slowly sift in the confectioners sugar and beat until mixture is free of lumps. Stir in vanilla.
5 Once cakes have cooled, frost and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
