Old Fashioned Carrot Cake

Today, we’re bringing you an irresistible recipe for Southern Carrot Cake. Get ready to indulge in the rich flavors of the South!

To start, we’ll need some basic ingredients. Gather flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Don’t forget the star of the show – fresh, grated carrots!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Mix them well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated. Now, let’s add our wet ingredients – vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Together, they create a moist and tender cake.

Oh, the aroma! Once the batter is mixed, gently fold in the grated carrots. These vibrant beauties add natural sweetness and a lovely texture to the cake.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and pop it into a preheated oven. Let it bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While waiting for it to bake, let’s prepare the cream cheese frosting.

For the frosting, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to beat until light and creamy. Just imagine that velvety frosting melting over your cake!

Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the luscious cream cheese frosting generously on top. This tangy yet sweet combination is a match made in heaven!

Voila! Your Southern Carrot Cake is ready to enjoy. Each slice is a celebration of Southern comfort and homemade goodness.
