Instructions

Carrot Cake

  1. In a large mixing bowl whip the butter and sugar until light and creamy.

  4. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the shredded carrots mixing until the carrots are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Prepare the bundt pan by greasing it and lightly flouingr the pan making sure the creaves are covered . You can use baking cooking spray.
  6. Pour the prepared batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top. Drop the pan from 2” on a flat surface to remove bubbles in the batter.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350°F or until the cake is done and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 10-15 minutes in the bundt pan, then flip onto a baking cooling rack. Cool completely before placing on a serving plate or cake stand.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a large mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese, vanilla, and butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and whisk until combined and creamy.
  2. Add the frosting to a piping bag to frost the bundt cake. Start in the center on top of a ridge or between a ridge and pipe the frosting over the curve of you cake but not going all the way down the side. Repeat this around the whole cake. You can also use a knife or frosting spatula to spread it around the bundt cake.

Notes

  • To make a glaze instead of frosting, mix powdered sugar and milk until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over cooled cake. If you would like to make a layered cake you can use two 8-inch cake pans in place of the bundt pan. Grating your fresh carrots using the small holes will give you the best results and texture in this cake.  All ingredients should be at room temperature before beginning, especially the cream cheese.   If you don't have a pastry bag you can improvise by cutting the tip of the corner of a large ziplock bag.
