So yesterday when I went to henna a friend for her wedding, her mom served an amazing, moist, melt-in-your-mouth carrot cake and I, of course, hounded her for the recipe. I couldn't help it! She was an absolute sweetheart and quickly made this note for me, and promised to share more recipes later - I'm absolutely in love! <3
CAN YOU TELL HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT THIS?!!!
It turned out fantastic! What you do is you dump everything together in a large bowl and mix well with an electric beater (or a wooden spoon but that takes a lot more effort).
What I did:
1. Used 2 tsp Baking Powder instead of 1 tsp.
2. Used a spring form pan, and lined it with paper, greasing well. The pan has to be 2/3rd full. Or 3/4th. I forget which. =s
3. I mix the dry ingredients together first, with a whisk, so the Baking powder and Soda is well distributed. Alternately, you may sift the flour, bp and soda together before hand.
4. Did not add the salt. I don't like the idea of putting salt in cakes, idk why.
5. Dumped in the carrots last! OH and IMPORTANT: carrots need to be finely grated.
DONE!
The cake vanished over night and it wasn't just me.
