The days were warm but never uncomfortably so and the cool breeze was EVERYTHING. I enjoyed stepping out in a t-shirt because it meant shedding the winter coat I\u2019ve been lugging for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though I was sad to tuck away my sunglasses and yank on my boots, I came home excited for the coming Spring. I\u2019ve spent the past few days dreaming of budding trees, tulip bulbs and surprisingly, carrot cake. To me, Carrot Cake is synonymous with Spring; the gorgeous, vibrant carrots represent all that\u2019s beautiful about the new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I decided to share with you all the BEST Carrot Cake recipe EVER in the hopes that the seasons will get the hint. Let\u2019s welcome in warmer weather with a moist, spiced and oh so decadently creamy Carrot Cake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

Take a moment to learn about these ingredients, you\u2019ll thank me later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-self-rising-flour\">Self-Rising Flour<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrot Cake can be on the heavier side because of its mix-in: nuts, fruit and carrots. To avoid a dense outcome, I use a self-rising flour which contains baking powder. The additional leavener helps to prevent the development of too much gluten; this means a tender, moist cake.&nbsp; Thank you to <a href=\"https:\/\/mamadips.com\/\"><strong>Mama Dip<\/strong><\/a> for this amazing tip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cinnamon-cloves-nutmeg-and-allspice\">Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg and Allspice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is traditionally a spice-heavy cake; the spice blend layers warmth, a sweetly pungent aroma and peppery overtones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vegetable-oil\">Vegetable Oil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of fat in any baking recipe is to add and retain moisture. Oil does the job by coating the protein in flour to prevent it from mixing with the other ingredients; if the protein is compromised, the necessary gluten does not form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grated-carrots\">Grated Carrots<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer to freshly grate my own carrots because there\u2019s a cleaner, more prominent flavor. Carrots should be sweet, earthy and slightly fruity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cream-cheese\">Cream Cheese<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this need an explanation? Every Carrot Cake worth talking about is served up with a tangy, smooth cream cheese frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-optional-roasted-walnuts-amp-crushed-pineapple\">OPTIONAL: Roasted Walnuts &amp; Crushed Pineapple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I would highly encourage the addition of these two ingredients. Roasted walnuts add a smoky, nutty flavor while also layering in a crunchy textural component. Pineapple simply offers a little extra fruity sweetness to compliment the carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-pin-description=\"Made incredibly moist and delicious with carrots, pineapple, a blend of warm spices and a homemade brown butter cream cheese frosting, this Carrot Cake Recipe is truly the BEST dessert EVER! #cake #carrotcake #easter\" data-pin-title=\"The BEST Award Winning Carrot Cake Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-21.jpg\" alt=\"Slices of carrot cake on white plates with silver forks and\" class=\"wp-image-25555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-21.jpg 700w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-21-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-21-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-21-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-the-best-carrot-cake\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_the_Best_Carrot_Cake\"><\/span>How to Make the Best Carrot Cake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Cake:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prep:<\/strong> Heat oven to 350\u00b0F, ready your pans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry Mix:<\/strong> Sift flour, spices, and baking soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wet Mix:<\/strong> In a mixer, combine sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Merge:<\/strong> Slowly add dry mix into the wet, then fold in carrots, pineapple, and walnuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> About 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick is clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool:<\/strong> Rest in pans, then transfer to racks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the Frosting:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Brown Butter:<\/strong> Melt until amber, then cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix:<\/strong> Whip butter with cream cheese, slowly include sugar, then add salt and vanilla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frost:<\/strong> Slather between layers and around the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-frost\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Frost\"><\/span>How to Frost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I often find that assembling and icing a cake is the most difficult part of the whole process. The texture of a cake is finicky, frosting can be runny and patience is always required. But, don\u2019t fret just yet! I\u2019ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to make this much easier for you folks at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chill-the-cake\">Chill the Cake<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider baking the cake layers the day before frosting and allowing them time to properly chill. Cold makes for fewer crumbs and therefore, a smoother layer of frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once baked and out of the pan, leave the cake out to come to room temperature. Then, wrap the layers in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least a couple hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-a-knife-to-level-the-top\">Use a Knife to Level the Top<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cake has come out of the oven with a domed top I would suggest giving it a trim. Flat cakes make for easier stacking and a more visually appealing result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a long serrated knife to carefully slice the rounded tops off each layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-crumb-coat\">Crumb Coat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After having chilled your layers, apply a thin, even layer of frosting to the top and side of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes then, proceed with the final beautifully smooth layer of frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BONUS TIP: This cake is visually quite simple. Jazz it up by decorating with chopped nuts, grated carrots, chocolate chunks or crushed pineapple. Get creative and your cake is sure to be a showstopper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-storage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage\"><\/span>Storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your freshly baked Carrot Cake in a dry, cool area and cover with foil or plastic wrap to keep from drying out. At room temperature, the cake will last for 1-2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If refrigerating, Carrot Cake will last for up to a week (properly stored of course). You can even freeze your cake; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag. The freezer will maintain the quality of the cake for 4-6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-pin-description=\"Made incredibly moist and delicious with carrots, pineapple, a blend of warm spices and a homemade brown butter cream cheese frosting, this Carrot Cake Recipe is truly the BEST dessert EVER! #cake #carrotcake #easter\" data-pin-title=\"The BEST Award Winning Carrot Cake Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-23.jpg 700w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-23-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-23-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Carrot-Cake-23-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-carrot-recipes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Carrot_Recipes\"><\/span>Best Carrot Recipes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s keep the Spring celebration going!
