Delicious Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Begin by grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor until you have about 2 cups (250 grams). Set the grated carrots aside. In a large mixing bowl, crack in the 3 large eggs. Whisk them well. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar (200 grams) to the eggs and mix until the mixture is smooth. Now, incorporate the melted butter into the batter, blending thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, sift together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour (190 grams), 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients until evenly combined. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the carrot and egg mixture. Be careful to not overmix; just stir until no streaks of flour remain.

Fold in the grated carrots and 1 cup of chopped walnuts (100 grams) into the batter. This step adds texture and flavor to the cake. Once everything is well combined, pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Spread it evenly across the pan.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the carrot cake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.

In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces (227 grams) of softened cream cheese with 1 cup (120 grams) of powdered sugar. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Once the cake has cooled completely, generously spread the frosting on top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for an elegant finish.

Your delicious carrot cake is now ready to be served. Slice and enjoy with family and friends! This cake not only tastes delightful but also makes for a beautiful dessert for any occasion.
