I wish you all a Blessed Good Friday :) I hope you all have a pleasant weekend as we celebrate Easter this Sunday. And... for that occasion I decided to post a soft, moist and delicious Carrot Cake! It's quite simple, no complex equipment required, just a little preparation. It has the warmth of Cinnamon which feels like a Christmas memory, and then, of course, the Carrots make their way to shine through as well. I like the level of sweetness of this cake- it's just right. It goes perfectly with my hot cup of tea! Can't wait to bake it again, with my family getting together this Sunday ❤️

Wet-Mix Ingredients:
1/2 Cup or 100 grams Granulated Sugar
2 Carrots, peeled (approximately 100 grams each. Grate one and chop one)
1/2 Oil (any vegetable Oil)
2 Whole Eggs (at Room Temperature)
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder (you may add some more, if you like)
1 & 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
A pinch of Salt
2 Tablespoons Salted Butter (optional; butter must be soft)
Dry ingredients:
1 & 1/4 Cup or 150 grams Maida
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda (this makes it more fluffy)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Baking Instructions:
• Bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35-40 minutes, on the middle rack. Check with a skewer to know if done.
• I used a 9" X 4.5" tin. Line it with parchment paper and grease it with oil.
• Once baked, let the cake remain inside the oven for 10 minutes. Then, open the oven door slightly, and let the cake remain there for 15 minutes. After that, bring the cake out & let it cool to room temperature.
Tips:
Use room temperature ingredients for the cake (i.e. the eggs, carrots, and butter, must not be cold).
Once poured into the mould, tap the mould on the countertop a few times to force out trapped air pockets. I forgot to do that and had some large pores.
