Birthday Cake 1/2: Carrot Cake | Recipe
Most Requested Cake
This carrot cake is the most requested cake amongst my friends and family so far (well, except for my girl who loves chocolate cake). I have been craving for this cake for over a week already, but only had the chance to make it in time for my daughter's 6th birthday last June 19th.
I first shared here this carrot cake recipe two years ago, you can check the post Baking Carrot-Mango Cake. A Weekend Special Treat. However, I did not add mango this time, just the carrot. *If you ever have less carrots, you can add grated apples too.
No oven, no problem!
I had three dishes to cook that involved baking last Friday for my girl's birthday, so I decided it was time to buy LPG for the oven. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with the regulator (it leaks!) so we were not able to use it still.
To bake my dishes, I used a large pot with sand, more like a clay oven as you will see in the video.
Ingredients + Measurements:
2 large carrots, grated (around 2 cups)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 medium sized eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
chopped walnuts (for toppings)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 cup cream cheese
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Check out the video for the procedure!
Really delicious, moist and dense carrot cake.
The cream cheese complements the cake so well.
Until my next video!

That looks yummy :) can I have a taste? 🙂
If you'll come back to the UAE, why not. 😅
Hmmm....That's gonna take a while 🙂
But we'll definitely go back one day to visit friends who are still there. We do miss the place.
Wow...Ang Sarap nyan ahh...😋
So far daw, sa lahat ng cakes ko, pinakapatok yang carrot cake. 😅
Looks great with tea or coffee. 😋
Oh yes, indeed! ☺️ I prefer black coffee though, the coffee lover that I am.
