CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Everyone seems to have an opinion on carrot cake, especially in our test kitchen. In our (lengthy) discussions, we debated the merits of adding common ingredients like coconut, pineapple, and chopped nuts. We even discussed just how much carrot to add. In the end, we all agreed that the classic carrot should definitely be loaded with carrots, walnuts, and raisins. One thing the test kitchen could agree on was that carrot cake must be frosted with cream cheese frosting. That is NOT negotiable.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Coat three 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; coat the parchment with more cooking spray. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then roughly chop 1 1/2 cups walnuts and finely chop 1 1/2 cups. Set aside the finely chopped nuts for topping.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just combined. With the mixer on medium-low speed, beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk, until combined. Stir in the vanilla. Gently fold in the carrots, raisins and roughly chopped walnuts with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter among the cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 20 minutes in the pans. Remove the cakes from the pans, remove the parchment and let cool completely on the racks.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Place one cake layer on a platter or cake stand and spread 1 cup frosting on top. Add another cake layer, spread with another 1 cup frosting and then add the last cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with a very thin layer of frosting (this is the crumb coat). Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting, then carefully press the finely chopped walnuts into the sides.
MOLLY'S CARROT CAKE WITH SPICED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the carrot cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda and hawaij in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula and mix until about 90% incorporated. Add the carrots and sesame seeds and mix to incorporate (and by this time, all of the flour mixture should be incorporated as well).
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans and then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the spiced frosting: Add the butter and cream cheese to a large bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and combined. Add the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Then add the heavy cream, vanilla, hawaij and salt. Mix until combined and smooth.
- Cover the cakes with frosting and stack. Use the carrot ribbons to roll into rose shapes and place on top of the cake. Decorate with the rosemary and serve!
OLD-FASHIONED CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A pleasingly moist cake, this treat is the one I requested that my mom make each year for my birthday. It's dotted with sweet carrots and a hint of cinnamon. The fluffy buttery frosting is scrumptious with chopped walnuts stirred in. One piece of this homemade carrot cake is never enough-better than all the other carrot cakes recipes I've tried!-Kim Orr, West Grove, Pennsylvania

CARROT SNACKING CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This one-bowl, one-layer carrot cake is a perfect "mix-and-bake" dessert. It's full of flavor from the shredded carrots, cinnamon and vanilla, and the nuts add texture. The cake is super-moist because it uses oil, and the fresh carrots add moisture too. You don't need any fancy equipment--you can simply mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl with a whisk or spoon (and a fork is the perfect makeshift whisk!). The frosting is super creamy and simple, and you can jazz things up and serve the iced cake from a cake stand, if you want to be fancy.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the nuts in an even layer on a baking sheet. Cook until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Give them a shake halfway through so they don't burn.
- Meanwhile, prepare your baking pan. A square 8-inch cake pan or a 9-inch round cake pan both work great. You can spray the pan with nonstick baking spray with flour or line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the pan and the paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until combined. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla and salt and whisk until combined. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl and stir or fold until combined. Add the carrots, raisins and toasted nuts if using and stir or fold until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until your house smells like carrot cake and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on the rack completely.
- While the cake is baking, make the frosting: Add the softened cream cheese to a large bowl and whisk it until it is smooth (if the cream cheese isn't softened, zap it in the microwave for 5 or 10 seconds).
- Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla, if using, and salt and whisk until smooth. If the frosting is a little too thick, add a tiny bit more milk. If it's too thin, you can add more confectioners' sugar.
- Once your cake has cooled (if it's warm it will melt the frosting), spread the frosting evenly over the cake. Tada! Enjoy!
LITTLE BUNNY FOO-FOO CAKE (CARROT CAKE) WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTI
The first time I made this cake I grated a million pounds of carrots on a knucklebuster. Then they invented Cuisinarts! Now it is much faster to shred the carrots on a fine shredding disk and no bloody knuckles! I have baked it in 8", 9", 9x13" pans so if you want to experiment with pan size it works. One thing I found was baking and stacking the three layers is tricky. My favorite way is two 8" pans for a nice layer cake and an 8" square pan to put into the freezer for unexpected company. I hope you try this wonderful cake. UPDATE: In the spirit of carrot cake stories, this cake was invented by a bunny named Foo-Foo. He is very famous and even has a hit song which goes like this: SING TO THE TUNE OF 'DOWN BY THE STATION'.......... Little Bunny Foo Foo, Hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. Down came the good fairy and she said - "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. I'll give you three chances, And if you don't behave ... I'll turn you into a goon!" The next day: Little Bunny Foo Foo, Hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. Down came the good fairy and she said: "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you. Scooping up the field mice. And boppin' 'em on the head. I'll give you two more chances, And if you don't behave... I'll turn you into a goon!" The next day: Little Bunny Foo Foo, Hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. Down came the good fairy and she said: "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. I'll give you one more chance, And if you don't behave.......... I'll turn you into a goon!" The next day: Little Bunny Foo Foo, Hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head, Down came the good fairy and she said "Little Bunny Foo Foo, I don't want to see you, Scooping up the field mice, And boppin' 'em on the head. I gave you three chances And you didn't behave Now you're a goon! POOF!!" The moral of the story is: HARE TODAY, GOON TOMORROW

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients into a large mixer bowl. Add sugar, oil and eggs. Beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
- By hand, stir in carrots, pineapple, coconut and walnuts just until blended. Pour into 3 9" prepared cake pans and bake in a preheated 350* oven about 38 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans on a rack for ten minutes and then remove from pans and cool on rack.
- Frost the cake:.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together. Add vanilla, Add the confectioners sugar a little at a time (sifting makes a creamier frosting). If this is too thick spread just add a drop of cream or milk.
- Here is a hint - do a crumb coat first and then frost. Spread the frosting on the layers and don't worry about crumbs. Let the frosting dry to the touch and then frost over it. Looks beautiful this way.

- Add the cream cheese and work it in - don't beat it in, just slowly mix with a wooden spoon. Depending on how soft the mixture is, you may want to put it in the fridge for 10 mins at this point. If it's runny, it will firm up again. It should be spreadable and not run off the cake.

AVON CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
My sister in law made this for a family gathering over the Labor Day weekend. She got this out of an old Avon cookbook when she was a teenager. It doesn't have any add ins and I think that is the beauty of it. If you like add ins there are many many other carrot cakes on zaar for you to choose from. While there are similar recipes posted there is none with these exact ingredients and amounts. Enjoy!
