THE BEST CARROT CAKE YOU'LL EVER EAT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottoms of 3 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• Make the cake: Grate the carrots on the large holes of a box grater. You should have about 6 cups.
• In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots and buttermilk and stir until the carrots are completely coated.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), combine the brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until the mixture drips from the whisk in ribbons, about 3 minutes.
• With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through, if necessary. Continue mixing until the mixture is fully emulsified, about 2 minutes.
• Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Add ½ of the carrot mixture and continue mixing on low speed until incorporated. Continue alternating adding the flour and carrot mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a flat rubber spatula to bring the batter together.
• Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and let cool completely.
• Make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, salt, and vanilla bean seeds until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until silky and smooth, about 4 minutes.
• Assemble the cake: Dab a bit of frosting on a cake board and place a cake layer on top. Scoop 1 cup of frosting onto the cake. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Use the remaining frosting to coat the top of the cake completely, leaving the sides naked.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

BEST EVER YUMMY CARROT CAKE!!!! (WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (If using a commercial convection oven, set it for 325 degrees on high fan).
• FOR THE CAKE:.
• Grease & flour four 12" round pans.
• Whisk first six ingredients in a large bowl until combined(flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon).
• In a separate smaller bowl, lightly beat oil, eggs & vanilla until combined.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until just combined.
• Carefully stir in the carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple & raisins until everything is evenly dispersed.
• Pour the batter into your greased & floured pans.
• Bake in the oven, turning half way through, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you lightly push on the cake it should spring back if it is done. (It takes about 25-30 minutes in a convection oven, but will probably take longer in a household oven).
• Cool the cake on cooling racks until it is room temperature. I cool mine in the fridge to speed things up -- but either way will work.
• FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:.
• While the cake is baking & cooling you can make your frosting.
• Beat cream cheese & softened butter in your mixer until it is light & fluffy.
• With your mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time so it doesn't fly out everywhere.
• Continue beating until the frosting is smooth.
• Add the vanilla to the frosting & continue to mix until combined.
• This frosting should be a thick fluffy consistency so you can spread it easily but it won't run.
• If you want a thinner frosting add less powdered sugar, if you want it thicker add more powdered sugar.
• TO ASSEMBLE CAKE:.
• When the cakes are cool, put a dollop of frosting on each one & spread around so there is an evenly covered layer (about 1/4" - 1/2" thick).
• If you put too much frosting it will squish out from the weight of the stacked cakes.
• Spread the remainder of the frosting on the sides of the cake.
• FOR THE CARROT DECORATIONS:.
• Take two small bowls of frosting.
• To one add green food coloring until you get a nice "carrot stem green" color.
• To the other bowl add red + yellow food coloring to make a nice "carrot orange" color.
• Add extra powdered sugar to each to make the frosting very thick. Then use a pastry bag to pipe little carrots with green stems on the top of the cake.
• You can use a zip-top bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner to pipe out the frosting carrots if you don't have a pastry bag.

MOM'S BEST EVER CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) round cake pans. In bowl stir together first 7 ingredients, set aside; in large bowl with mixer at medium speed beat next 4 ingredients just until blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture just until blended. With spoon stir in carrots, raisins and nuts. Turn into prepared pans and bake 45 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans; gently place cakes on racks or platters and cool completely.
• While cakes are baking, Prepare cream Cheese Icing: 1 Pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese softened 1 stick butter (room temp.) 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp. orange zest, and 3 to 4 fresh tsp. orange juice. 1 pound box + 1/2 pd. box confectioners' sugar In bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice until light and smooth. Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar about a 1/4 cup at a time into cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate icing for at least 1 hour. Spread 1/3 of the icing on 1 top of 1st layer of cake then top with second cake layer. Frost sides of cake with remaining frosting. Garnish with nuts if desired.
• Quick Tip* Quick alternative for preparing frosting: Use 1 extra large can of vanilla or cream cheese frosting and add 1 (8 oz) pkg. of softened cream cheese to frosting and beat together until smooth and creamy. I find that cakes come out easier when I use foil cake pans for this type of cake. When you're ready to invert cakes onto platter, just tap the bottom of pans with your hand so cake comes away from pans easily.

BEST. CARROT. CAKE. EVER.

Steps:

• Line 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with wax paper; lightly grease and flour wax paper. Set pans aside.
• Stir together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Beat eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Fold in carrot, coconut, pinapple and nuts.
• Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
• Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Drizzle Buttermilk Glaze (recipe below) evenly over layers (I only used about 2/3 of the prepared glaze which I thought was perfect!); cool in pans on wire racks 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
• Once the cake is cooled, slice each layer in half to give you a total of 4 layers. More layers = more frosting = me happy! Note: I put the 2 cake layers in the freezer for 45 minutes to make slicing them in half easier.
• Make the cream cheese frosting according the recipe below. You can use a canned frosting but it won't hold a candle to this delicious homemade icing!
• Spread Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. I'm a BIG frosting person so I made 1 1/2 batches of the cream cheese frosting to make sure the cake was completely covered. I also sprinkled chopped walnuts in between each frosted layer to take it over the top.
• Slice and enjoy!
• Glaze Prep: Bring first 5 ingredients to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring often, 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
