American-style Carrot Cake

I ate this often while living in Canada. I wanted to try to make it myself, so I found a recipe on an American recipe site, used ingredients that I had on hand, and decreased the sugar and oil.
The nuts and dried fruits are optional.
I added maple syrup for extra flavor, but it's also optional.
I added rum to the icing, but vanilla also works well. Recipe by imomofolio

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.

When I was living in England, I received this spiced carrot cake numerous times during the Christmas season. I got a friend to teach me the recipe. The original version was sweeter, but I took the liberty of reducing the sugar and oil, but for the most-part the steps and ingredients are true to the original.Generally speaking, if you use margarine rather than butter, there is no need to add salt.In Step 1 when sifting the dry ingredients, exclude the almond powder.In Step 6, the longer the batter rests, the richer and tastier it becomes. It's okay to let it rest for 2 or 3 days. Recipe by tora-mame. (One 18 cm diameter cake.) cookpad.japan -

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. Ricardo -

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. KARLA CARDENASTranslated from Cookpad Mexico -

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. Daniel Lim
