Spices n Secrets

Winter is the season of warmth, coziness and delicious food. I am yet to meet someone who doesn't love cooking and eating in the colder months. 

Winter is also the time for Christmas holidays; which also brings in tons of sweet treats.

My staple baking in winter is carrot cake and rum cake. Both are rich, spicy and perfect for winter evenings with a cup of tea or coffee. 

While I did share rum cake recipes previously, I realized I never wrote about carrot cake.

So, today I share my best ever carrot cake recipe that makes for a big fluffy spongy mouthfuls of carrot cake.

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1.5 cups grated carrots
3. 1+1/4 cups sugar
4. 3/4 cup vegetable oil
5. 2.5 tsp. baking powder
6. 1 tsp. cinnamon powder
7. 1 tsp. vanilla essence (Get on Amazon)
   
8. 1/4 tsp. nutmeg powder (Get on Amazon)
   
9. 1/4 tsp. salt
10. 3 eggs

Method:

Preheat oven at 150 degree celcius.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla essence, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and grated carrots. 

Meanwhile, sift the flour, salt and baking powder.

Grease and flour a baking pans.

Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake at 180 degrees celcius for 1 hour or untill a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
