- Here's my FAVORITE carrot cake recipe. It is always a hit at gatherings and has become my most-requested cake recipe. The "secret" is the ORANGE!
- Personally, I don't like raisins in carrot cake and am glad this one doesn't require them. If it did, I would simply omit them.
- Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add in oil and stir well making a very stiff mix. Set aside. Wash orange and cut into small pcs (leave the peel on!). Put the orange pcs in a blender container and adding one egg at a time, beat the mix till it is smooth and foamy. Add in this mix to the stiff mix which was set aside. Mix well. Add in 2 c. of grated carrots, mix and then add in the nuts. Blend the mix well.
- Pour batter into a well-greased or possibly oiled tube pan (bundt pan). Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for 40-50 min. The cake is done when it starts shrinking from the sides of the pan. Cold the cake in the pan for 10-15 min then invert it onto a cooling rack. Cold completely before icing it
- (recipe for icing follows).
- Notes: Instead of using a tube pan, you can bake the cake in a 9"x13" rectangular baking pan. In this case, reduce the baking time to 35 min or possibly till done. The cake tastes equally good without the icing. I only ice it on special occasions. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- Icing: Cream cheese should be at room temperature. Mix all the ingredients together to create a smooth paste.
