This juicy and fluffy carrot cake is an old classic and yet every year towards Easter is back in vogue. This recipe from the springform pan with flour and almonds in the dough you just have to try!
Actually funny that such a versatile and flavorful cake like carrot cake with cream cheese can be prepared so easily, right? It succeeds even baking muffle like me! The ingredients are manageable, the baking is totally quick and the frosting is also ready in no time.
Hand mixer or food processor? No way! This simple carrot cake requires only a bowl and two hands. First, mix all the dry ingredients together and add the oil. Here I recommend you use a neutral vegetable oil like canola or sunflower oil. Coconut oil also works well. Then you add the eggs and stir them in with a spoon or whisk. Then just fold in the carrots and nuts – and the dough is ready to shape.
