Homemade Carrot Cake 🥕🍰
Soft, moist and full of warming spice — this homemade Carrot Cake is the perfect treat with a cup of tea. ✨
Made with grated carrots, cinnamon and I’m a Natural® Sunflower Oil with Vitamin D for a beautifully soft and tender crumb.
You’ll need:
For the cake:
• 5 eggs
• 250ml I’m a Natural® Sunflower Oil with Vitamin D
• 250g brown sugar
• 300g carrots, freshly grated
• 300g plain flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
For the frosting:
• 250g cream cheese
• 100g unsalted butter, softened
• 150–200g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Crushed Biscoff biscuits or your favourite topping, to decorate
Method 👇
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan and line two round cake tins with baking paper.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until combined.
Add the sunflower oil and brown sugar, then mix until smooth.
Fold in the freshly grated carrots.
Add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Add the vanilla and gently mix until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and soft.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins.
Bake for around 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave the cakes to cool completely before decorating.
For the frosting:
Beat the softened butter until smooth, then mix in the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla until creamy.
Spread a generous layer of frosting over the first cake, place the second layer on top and cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
Finish with crushed Biscoff biscuits or your favourite cake topping.
Slice, serve and enjoy. 🥕🤍
Soft, spiced and seriously moreish.
