How to Make Carrot Cake
After peeling the carrots, we grate them. We squeeze the water out of the grated carrots and put them in a separate bowl. Don't miss the tip of squeezing the water; otherwise, the batter will be too watery and the measurements will not be accurate. We don't want to mess up the measurements when we can have a delicious cake. Then, our eggs and 1 cup of sugar should be beaten in a bowl until foamy. The foam detail is very important here; the more we whip it, the fluffier the cake will be. We add milk and vegetable oil to the foamy mixture and continue to mix. Then we add flour, baking powder, and vanilla and mix. Be careful not to overdo the measurements when adding flour. No cake lover likes an overly stiff cake batter, do they? We add the main stars of our cake, namely carrots, cinnamon, and walnuts, to the mixture we have prepared and stir with a wooden spoon. The wooden spoon detail is quite important here, as it is one of the essential tips for the cake to remain fluffy. After greasing the cake pan we will use, we add the prepared batter mixture to it. Then we bake it in our preheated oven at 170 degrees. The baking time is 40 minutes, but the first 20 minutes are very important. Let's not open the oven door in the first 20 minutes so that our big, fluffy cake doesn't deflate. After it is well cooked, take it out of the oven and let our cake cool down. Be careful not to remove the cake from the mold while it is still hot, so it doesn't fall apart when you take it out. The cake will come out neatly on its own after it cools down. If you wish, you can also sprinkle powdered sugar on top of our cake for decoration. It's entirely up to your taste. Here is our cinnamon cake recipe that graces the main spot at tea times.
