Melt-in-your mouth spicy carrot cake recipe

 

 

1/3 c water hot to boiling

 

2 c finely shredded carrots

 

2 c flour, use an all purpose flour

 

1 1/4 c sugar

 

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

 

1 tsp salt

 

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

 

1 1/2 tsp ground cloves

 

1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

 

1/2 c vegetable oil

 

3 eggs

 

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

 

1 1/2 c finely chopped nuts.

 

 

frosting of your choice, a lemon cream cheese frosting, or vanilla cream cheese frosting is really good.

 

 

Pour the water on the carrots in large to medium mixing bowl, heat your oven to 350 and grease and flour your cake pan. Use a standard cake pan 13x9.

 

 

Mix the remaining ingredients in with the carrots and beat on low speed, working the sides of the bowl frequently for 2 minutes, then beat on medium speed for another minute and pour into the pan. Bounce pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.

 

 

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean when stuck in the center of the cake. Take out and let cool before frosting.

 

 

Remember finely shredded carrots.

 

I just triple or quad this recipe for a sheet cake.
