Tips:
Grate the carrots: For best results, use a box grater to grate the carrots. This will ensure they are evenly grated and will incorporate well into the batter.
Room temperature ingredients: Make sure your eggs, butter, and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting. This will help them mix together smoothly and create a lighter and fluffier cake and frosting.
Don't overmix the batter: When adding in the dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. This can result in a denser and tougher cake.
Let the cake cool: It's important to let the cake cool completely before frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt and slide off the cake.
Store leftovers: If you have any leftover cake, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
So there you have it, the perfect holiday baking championship carrot cake recipe. With its warm spices, moist texture, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. So go ahead and impress your loved ones with this delectable dessert, and happy baking!
