Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
Cake
- 2 cups cake flour or all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- ½ tsp nutmeg ground
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups carrots finely grated
Frosting
- ½ package cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Coat a 10-cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and walnuts. Whisk together until evenly distributed and combined.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the carrots, then mix until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry flour mixture and fold together using a spatula until just combined and no dry ingredients are visible. Do not over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the carrot cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the bundt pan on a wire cooling rack, then turn it upside down onto the wire cooling rack to remove it. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add sugar ½ tablespoon at a time, and beat until smooth and desired consistency is reached.
- Use a spoon to frost the cream cheese frosting over the cooled bundt cake and if desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
