My boyfriend's mom introduced me to Sam's Famous Carrot Cake online. However, I'm constantly on the search to decrease the sugar in my recipes. These are moist with a nice carrot flavor. Feel free to omit the walnuts and/or raisins.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place raisins in a bowl with the pineappe, Let soak for at least an hour. Toast walnuts either in the oven or on stove until fragrant. Finely grate carrots.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 375F/190C and prepare your tins. In a bowl, add flour, soda, spices, and salt and whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, mix the eggs and sugars on medium speed for about 5 minutes or until the mix is pale and double in volume. Add in the oil and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Alternate the buttermilk with the flour mixture, reserving a bit of flour to dust the walnuts with. Add the carrot and raisins and mix. Add the walnuts and last of the flour until just combined. Spoon into tins.

  5. 5

    This recipe actually made 24 cupcakes, 6 egg shaped individual cakes, and two 6" round layers. Omitting the walnuts and/or raisins will give you less.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with dry crumbs.

  7. 7

    These get better the next day so make a batch up ahead of time and make your frosting day of.
