Carrot Cake with Recipe




Do your kids hate carrot? Are you finding some ways to get yourself eat carrot? Let's give carrot cake a try!

I don't like to eat carrot since I was small, I think it tastes strange, hard and not much flavor. I do eat carrots if they are in the soup when they are so soft, and lately I tried out carrot cake and I think it's fine for me! :D:D Give it a try and you may find carrot is not that bad-tasting! LoL

Easy Carrot Cake - Serves 6 (9 x 13 inches pan)

Ingredients:

1. 4 eggs
2. 3/4 cups vegetable oil
3. 1/4 cup applesauce
4. 1/2 cup white sugar
5. 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
6. 2 cups all-purpose flour
7. 2 teaspoons baking soda
8. 2 teaspoons baking powder
9. 1/2 teaspoon salt
10. 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11. 3 cups grated carrots

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 175'C, place baking paper on the pan.
2. Beat together eggs, vegetable oil, apple sauce, sugar and vanilla extract.
3. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking poweder, salt, cinnamon, stir in carrots.
4. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 mins, or until a toothpick inserted to the center of the cake and comes out clean.
5. Let cool in the pan for about 10 mins then let cool on the wire rack completely.

Remarks:
1. Applesauce can be subsituted by the same amount of vegetable oil. (Get applesauce if you can! It's healthier!)
2. If you don't have both brown and white sugar, you can use one cup of either type.
3. Nutmug, Pecan and walnut etc. can be put in if you like them. :):)
