Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet, line with parchment paper, and grease parchment.
- 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves together in large bowl.
- 3
Whisk sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla together in second bowl until mixture is smooth. Stir in carrots and currants. Add flour mixture and fold with rubber spatula until mixture is just combined.
- 4
Transfer batter to prepared sheet and smooth surface. Bake until center of cake is firm to touch, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack (do not remove parchment), then reinvert onto second wire rack. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.
- 5
Using stand mixer fitted with
paddle, beat sugar, butter, buttermilk powder, vanilla, and
salt together on low speed until smooth, about 2 min-
utes, scraping down bowl as needed. Increase speed to
medium-low; add cream cheese, 1 piece at a time; and
mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- 6
Transfer cooled cake to cutting board, parchment
side down. Using sharp chef's knife, cut cake and parch-
ment in half crosswise, then lengthwise, to make 4 equal
rectangles, about 6 by 8 inches each
- 7
Place 1 cake layer on a cake platter, parchment side up, on cardboard and carefully remove parchment.
- 8
Spread ⅔ cup frosting evenly over top, right to edge of cake, and sprinkle a few pecans if desired. Repeat with 2 more layers of cake, pressing lightly to adhere and frosting each layer with
⅔ cup frosting.
- 9
Top with last cake layer and spread 1 cup frosting evenly over top. Spread remaining frost-ing evenly over sides of cake. (It's fine if some crumbs show through frosting on sides, but if you go back to smooth top of cake, be sure that spatula is free of crumbs.)
- 10
Hold cake with 1 hand and gently press chopped pecans onto sides with other hand. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. (The frosted cake can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving.)

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.

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.

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.

My parents worked hard from a young age until their last days. Mom wasn't a whiz in the kitchen, but when she took the time, the little or much she prepared was truly amazing. This dessert was made with boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting, adding a few ingredients to make it truly exquisite and delicate. She was so creative in presenting her dishes that almost no one believed she made them with her own hands! I cherish this photo because we made this cake together about 4 years ago, and I'm very comforted to share the recipe with you.

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.

This cake is a favorite with my grandchildren, especially because of the lightly sweetened cream cheese frosting and the sprinkle of walnuts around it. I made this cake today since we’re spending the weekend with our children and grandchildren.
