Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the oven to 350F (176C). Grease 7 inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper then grease the top of the paper.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and the cinnamon until well blended.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, and vanilla. Whisk in the egg until combined.
- 4
Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
- 5
Pour into cake pan. Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30t to 40 minutes.
- 6
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes then turn out onto cooling rack, peel off parchment paper and cool completely. (If it's stuck to the bottom of the pan, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing).

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
- 8
Beat in the powdered sugar, a spoon at a time until fluffy. Pour in cream and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Chill covered until ready to frost cake.

When the cake is completely cool, frost the top leaving the side unfrosted. Scatter nuts on top.

When I used to live in Dubai, I loved Lime Tree's carrot cake. So after I moved, whenever I miss carrot cake, I use this recipe to bake my own.

Carrot Cake Carrot Cake
My favorite recipe of carrot cake is the one developed by America’s Test Kitchen. Unlike the usual “dump and stir” method, this version creates a dessert that is layered, moist, tangy, and glamorous.

Carrot Cake Carrot Cake
I actually made this cake for Valentine's day. I mean Valentine's day is too overfilled with chocolate and heart shapes. Sometimes we just need a simple cake like this. Unlike all the carrot cakes which I'd tasted, there're actually carrots in this cake. Those commercial cakes are usually filled with food coloring and artificial flavorings. To make the cake worse, they used over-sugary cream cheese fillings which kinda make the cakes unbearable to eat, IMHO.As you should have known, I am not a fan of cakes. So, if I have to eat a cake, it has to be my way; dense, moist, fudgy and custardy without over the top sweetness or frosting. Bruno Albouze seems to have what I am looking for. Head over to his YouTube channel for gorgeous desserts, cakes and dishes. Subscribe to his channel too.I decided to decorate my cake with some bits and pieces of honeycomb. There are a few names to call the honeycomb: honeycomb toffee, hokey pokey or cinder toffee. It is like a science experiment when the baking soda is added. I also decided to keep my cake 100% vegan, cos it is one of my goals for 2019; to push out at least 1 vegan recipe a week. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. I know I am late tho, but this cake will sit well on any dining table without any special occasion.
