Carrot cake with nuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake carrot cake with walnuts? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Peel the carrots and rinse in running water to remove dirt. Chop the walnuts a little with a knife and fry in a dry frying pan for several minutes until a characteristic smell appears. When frying, stir the nuts constantly to prevent them from burning. After turning off the heat, immediately pour the nuts into another bowl, as they will begin to burn in a hot frying pan.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the dough, take any deep bowl so that it is convenient to knead the dough in it. Everything will be mixed by hand, so don’t be afraid of splashes flying around. Grate the peeled carrots on a fine or medium grater directly into the bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add eggs and a little ground cinnamon to the grated carrots. If you like the rich aroma of cinnamon, you can add more. I like its light, unobtrusive scent.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the cake flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Pour vegetable oil into the bowl with the carrots. Then add sugar and flour with soda. Mix all ingredients with a spoon, whisk or wooden spatula.

5. STEP 5

   

   The dough turns out quite thick. Add the roasted nuts to it and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the finished dough into a suitable baking dish, greased with a small amount of vegetable oil. It can be glass, ceramic, silicone or, like mine, disposable foil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bake the cake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven. Pierce the cake with a wooden skewer and check for doneness. It should remain dry when pulled out. Remove the finished cake from the oven and cool slightly.

8. STEP 8

   

   The cooled cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or decorated with cream and berries. Enjoy your tea!

In the evening I baked a carrot cake with nuts for tea. It’s easy to prepare; you just need to combine and mix all the ingredients. The most labor-intensive thing about it, perhaps, is grating the carrots and chopping the walnuts. The cake turned out delicious, but I didn’t really like its structure - despite the fact that the wooden skewer came out dry and clean, my cake was not loose enough. Therefore, next time, in addition to soda, I would also add baking powder. Thanks for the recipe, I really love carrot cake.

To be honest, this was my first time making a cupcake like this. In my case, cupcakes, I didn’t have a mold like yours, so I decided to bake them in silicone molds. Everyone liked the very tasty cupcake. Moderately sweet. Carrots don’t overwhelm the taste, but rather add pleasant notes😋walnuts add an amazing texture😊Thank you so much for such an incredible recipe!!😻 I recommend it to everyone!!!💐💐💐💞

Don't you need to extinguish the soda?

The cupcake turned out very tasty and beautiful! Even the large pieces of nuts were soft, and I was worried that our grandmother wouldn’t be able to taste it because of them. Thank you for such a good recipe ☺️
