Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 340°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
- 2
In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast and ground cinnamon with a mixing spoon.
- 3
In a medium bowl mix the egg, Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain, sugar and salt with a spoon.
- 4
Peel and grate the carrot using a grater or shred it with a food processor. You can add the raisins and walnuts, if you want to, to the flour mixture. Stir until the flour coats all the carrot, raisins and nuts. This step will help the carrot, raisins, and nuts not to stick together in balls in the mix when baking.
- 5
To stop the mix sticking to the mold, brush the mold with Olive Oil from Spain and sprinkle flour on it. Shake it and then turn it upside down, to get rid of the excess flour.
- 6
Add the liquid ingredients from the medium bowl to the large bowl of dry ingredients, and stir well with a tongue-type spatula, not a spoon, as we want to mix them evenly into the mix without working it too much.
- 7
Once well mixed, put it into the previously prepared mold and put it on the rack in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
- 8
Remove and let cool. Remove from the mold to serve.
- 9
Mix the icing and decorate your cake!

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.

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.

Like most women, I love all that is sweet but I sometimes feel quite guilty when eating large quantities. It's like I can't have just one piece and I believe many of you feel the same way I do. In this recipe I used a very small amount of oil and less sugar than in the original one so feel free to have not one, not two, but as many pieces of this cake as you like! Also, it's a very quick and tasty desert you can make when you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen so when you're in a hurry and you're craving something sweet, this is the recipe for you. Have fun making it! I’d love to see all your beautiful photos, so feel free to post them and don’t forget to leave a comment!

It's said that this cake doesn't have the raw taste of carrots, so I wanted to try it out. It turned out to be quite delicious, and the addition of brown sugar gives it a great flavor.TipsFor the vegetable oil, I used sunflower oil (it's suggested online not to use olive oil as the flavor would be too strong). You can use butter, but vegetable oil is a bit healthier.Tasting NotesThe carrot cake with the caramelized flavor of brown sugar doesn't have any of the raw carrot taste.
