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 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.

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!

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.)

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.
