Carrot Cake: Easter Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups grated carrots
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale yellow. Stir in the oil, grated carrots, and chopped walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with cream cheese frosting and enjoy!

Verdict:

This carrot cake is incredibly moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The addition of walnuts adds a delightful crunch to each bite. It’s the perfect dessert to serve at your Easter gathering, or any occasion for that matter.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the cake with a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. You can also add extra grated carrots or chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor. Enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee for the ultimate indulgence.
