Step 2: Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon powder (use a sieve as I show you in the video to sift these ingredients to avoid lumps) and with the help of a hand whisk, mix until blended (switch to hand whisk, because if we use the electric ones, the mixture of flour, baking powder and cinnamon, can jump through the air).

Step 3: Add the grated carrots, chopped walnuts and integrate very well, then, in a mold previously greased and floured or covered with baking paper, add the mixture and take it to the oven for 45 minutes at 180 ºC / 356 ºF (each oven is different, that's why I recommend to prick the cake with a wooden toothpick once it is cooked, if it comes out clean, it means that our carrot cake is ready, otherwise, if you see that the cake is ready, if it comes out clean, it means that it is ready, If it comes out clean, it means that our carrot cake is ready, otherwise, if you see that the toothpick comes out a little stained with the mixture, cook a few minutes more).

Tips To Prepare It

Remember that the measure to use for the flour, sugar and oil, is the same cup of yogurt with the amounts that I indicate.

It is important to beat the eggs and sugar for the indicated time, in this way we get air into our carrot cake so that it will be fluffy.

When adding the flour, yeast and cinnamon to the cake mixture, use a sieve to sift these ingredients and avoid lumps.

Each oven is different, so when the carrot cake is finished baking, I recommend poking it with a toothpick, if it comes out clean, it means that our carrot cake is ready, otherwise, if you see that the toothpick comes out a little stained with the mixture, cook for a few more minutes.

It is important to let our carrot cake rest (once removed from the oven) for 15 minutes on wire racks before making the first cut.

What can we accompany this recipe with?

The carrot cake is a perfect option for our snacks, breakfasts, family gatherings, etc., accompany it with a nice cup of coffee or a glass of milk.

Preguntas y respuestas

Can I use another type of oil instead of sunflower or olive oil?

Yes, you can use other vegetable oils such as coconut oil, canola oil, or corn oil, just make sure they are neutral oils so as not to alter the flavor of the cake.

Can I substitute sugar for another sweetener?

Yes, you can use alternative sweeteners such as brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or artificial sweeteners, keep in mind that this will alter the texture and flavor of the cake.
