Ingredients: Cake is shown in picture is without icing. |
|
Step 1: Chopped carrots: |
|
|
Step 2: Throw the chopped carrots in a pot and cover with water, and simmer for about 10 minutes. |
|
|
Step 3: And shred/grate the un-chopped carrots: |
|
|
Step 4: Drain the carrots that were simmering, and throw in a food processor or blender, and puree them. |
|
Step 5: Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon into a large bowl. Sifting helps the flour absorb more of the liquid, and makes for a moister, softer cake. |
|
|
Step 6: Add the oil, eggs and vanilla. |
|
|
Step 7: Beat them well with your mixer. |
|
|
Step 8: Fold in the carrot puree, grated carrot, walnuts, coconut and pineapple. |
|
|
Step 9: Take whatever you're cooking it in. You can do in in a glass baking dish, or like me, taking 2 9-inch round foil cake pans, to make a 2-layer cake. Grease you pan, and line with parchment or wax paper. Grease them up too. |
|
|
Step 10: Add your cake mixture to your cake tins: |
|
|
Step 11: Now, throw into a 350F oven. The cooking time depends on what you're cooking it in. Mine took about 40 minutes. Since my stove is gas, I rotated the cakes between the middle shelf and the top shelf, to maintain regular temperatures. You'll know it's done with a toothpick comes out clean, when sticking it down into the carrot cake. |
|
|
Step 12: After 10 minutes, flip your carrot cake out onto the rack. You might need to run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen it, but for the most part it should plop right out. Let cool completely. |
|
|
Step 13: Awesome. Now, let's make some frosting for the carrot cake. |
|
|
Step 14: Mixing: |
|
|
Step 15: Don't do like I did, and start mixing too fast and sugar flew everywhere: |
|
|
Step 16: Ice your cake dependant on what type you made. If it's two like mine, you'll put one on a platter, ice the top, and lay the second on that. Then ice the whole thing. |
