Carrot Cake - Bake-off XIX

[Kerry Beal]

I think it's time for a new bake-off.

 

Carrot cake is one of those items that varies significantly from place to place - in common they seem to contain carrot - and cream cheese frosting is fairly ubiquitous - but beyond that they vary from cakey to fruit filled and very moist. 

 

So let's show them off here - recipes welcome!

It's been some years now, perhaps 2002, but I vaguely remember this test being done, with I think, was about 6 different carrot recipes.  It might have been on the FC forum.  The member doing the eval. was or is a scientist in Europe.

 Just checked and will need to place a grocery order before I can participate.   Any recipe that does not contain raisins and pineapple is a dealbreaker for me.

I am the breaker of deals... no carrot cake I make shall contain raisins.  

If I'm served carrot cake and it contains raisins, I eat it. But I never add them myself. Raisins are an on-the-fence thing for me, don't actually hate them but don't particularly love them either. I will eat them in moderation but things heavily raisin-saturated like raisin pie or raisin butter tarts, I'll pass.

I made a carrot cake a while ago:

 

It goes very well with squash and orange

Can I post yesterday's effort ? I'll take that as a yes.

 

 

The recipe is here http://vst.to/mjmVXml 

i used coconut oil instead of canola, and skimped on the icing sugar in the cream cheese frosting, so it's a bit runny.

For a non baker (perhaps my third cake ever) I was pretty pleased with the result.
