How to bake carrot cake
One of the most frequent ways to prepare carrot cake is to prepare carrot cake with walnuts.
Ingredients you need to bake carrot cake are:
- Carrot: 2 medium
- Egg: 4 pieces
- Flour: 1 and 3/4 cup
- Baking powder: 1/5 teaspoon
- Vanilla: 1/4 teaspoon
- Sugar: 1 cup
- Chopped walnuts: 1/2 cup
- Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Oil: 3/4 cup
- Salt: 1/8 teaspoon
In the following cases, we will describe how to make carrot cake in distinct stages.
Stages of baking carrot cake
1) Peeling the carrots and grating them is the initial step you should do in baking this specific cake. After grating the carrots, break the healthy eggs in a divided bowl, then add the vanilla and sugar.
2) Combine the bowl including sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an average-speed electric mixer for 5 minutes. After that, ensure that your mixture is milky and elastic. In this case, you can add up oil to it and mix the ingredients again for 1 minute. If you do not have an electric mixer, you can also combine it with a fork or an ordinary mixer; However, you have to mix longer for the ingredients to shape correctly.
3) This stage is when you must combine the baking powder and cinnamon with the flour, then pass the mixed ingredients through a sieve. It is more appropriate to sieve the powder combination several times until it is entirely smooth. Gradually, stir the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder with the combination you prepared in the last stage. It is suitable to combine the flour at the same time while adding the flour combination to mix smoothly.
4) chop 1/2 cup of walnuts completely. First, combine the grated carrots with the walnuts, then add this combination to the ingredients you prepared in the third stage. While mixing, bring the ingredients from the bottom of the dish to the surface and stir the ingredients thoroughly in a rotational movement.
5) When the mixture is entirely smooth and there is no ingredient left at the bottom of the dish, keep it; Because by keeping on this action, you remove the air between the texture. While the combination is resting, switch on the oven and arrange it at 175 °C. It takes 10 to 15 minutes for your oven to heat up, at which time you can select the mold you desire.
6) Place greaseproof paper in the mold you have selected, and then pour the mixture into it. Place the mold steadily in the oven, it bakes the cake for an average of 35 to 45 minutes.
An Important Tip
To make sure that the cake is baked, you can dip a toothpick into the cake after 30 minutes. If the cake components were stuck through the teeth, it indicates that your cake is not baked yet; But if no components stick to the toothpick, it shows that your cake is baked. If your cake was not baked, put it in the oven for 10 minutes. To have a golden cake, you can place it on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Ensure that it does not continue for more than two minutes, otherwise your cake will burn. Let the cake get cold totally and then garnish it with your favorite materials. Here you are! This is a carrot cake that was made without difficulty.
