To Die For Carrot Cake Recipes

TO-DIE-FOR CARROT CAKE RECIPE - (2.9/5)

Steps:

• 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2.Combine #1 ingredients. Add #2 ingredients. Stir in #3 ingredients. 3.Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 , two 9-inch pans or three 8-inch pans. (The cake is very moist so cutting parchment for the bottom of your pans will ensure they don't stick. I prefer to use the non-stick baking spray that has the flour in it for easy cake removal.) 4.Bake for 35-40 minutes for the 9x13 and 9-inch pans and 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch pans. You're looking for an inserted toothpick to come out clean. 5.Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely. For the frosting: 1.Beat the butter and cream cheese until nice and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until nice and smooth. 2.Invert the cake onto a cake plate or stand. 3.Apply a generous dollop of frosting and spread... 4.Gently place the second cake on top and continue frosting. Repeat with the third cake if you made three. 5.Refrigerate for an hour before serving for best results.

THE ULTIMATE CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Beat brown and white sugars, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined. Mix in flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in carrots and pineapple, then fold in pecans. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the cake is cooling, combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract for frosting in a medium bowl. Beat until mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped pecans.
• Spread frosting over the cooled cake.
