Carrot Cake
Carrot cake was my mother’s favorite cake. I can remember being four years old and peeling carrots and licking the batter off of the spoon. My father always had something to say about the raw eggs, but my mother didn’t care. Haha, I survived!! Anyway, I got this lamb mold and I wanted to try it out, so I made a carrot cake. This will of course work with any pan.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare all of the ingredients. Peel and shred the carrots. Chop the raisins and coconut. Measure out all of the ingredients. Prepare yourself to be successful. If you have cloves already ground, great. If not, grind them with a mortar and pestle. Add all dry ingredients and whisk together.

Heavily grease your pan and flour it lightly. Add oil and one egg to the dry ingredients. Incorporate it. Then, add one egg at a time and incorporate. Alternately add in your carrots and dried fruits, mixing throughly after each addition. (You can also add in some chopped nuts).

If you’re using a 9x13, Bundt, or springform Pan, you can go ahead and just pour all the batter in nicely. Smaller pans, be mindful that the cake will grow and possibly overflow.

Small cakes were done in about 22 minutes. The larger one took around 45 minutes. It’s not a bad idea to check visually and with a toothpick when it’s near completion. You can feel it... and smell it. Frosting is up to you, I found it sweet enough as is. I added a glaze to the lamb to make it attractive to my nephew.

The cake is perfectly moist and delicious. You will love this lightly spiced carrot cake as fresh carrots give a perfect blend to the cake with nutmeg and cinnamon.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to make the carrot cake from my youth.It was heavy on the sweetness, which I didn't mind, but for this recipe, I wanted to keep its moistness (this is key!) while making it a bit healthier.Baking time vary by oven.If it seems like it's going to burn, cover with aluminum foil.
