CARROT CAKE

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CARROT CAKE:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups grated carrots

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare the cake pans: grease and flour one 8 inch pan
and a loaf pan (18*9cm), and line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper.

STEP 2:

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and
cinnamon. Set aside.

STEP 3:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs, oil, two sugars and vanilla. Beat on
low speed for about 30 seconds, and then turn up the speed to medium for about 2
to 3 minutes, or until combined and lightly frothy.

STEP 4:

Reduce the speed to low, and add the flour mixture in 2 to 3 increments, pausing to
scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula with each addition.
STEP 5:

Stir in carrots, mixing on low speed until combined.

STEP 6:

Pour an even amount of batter into each of the prepared pans.

STEP 7:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into
the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in pan for 10 minutes,
then turn out onto a wire rack, remove the parchment paper, and cool completely.
