Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a bundt pan generously with baking spray.
- Grate carrots and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves.
- In another large bowl, beat eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in shredded carrots.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until smooth. Fold in walnuts.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and spread evenly. Bake 45–50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 20 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
- For frosting: beat cream cheese until smooth, add heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until creamy.
- Spread or drizzle frosting over cooled cake. Garnish with extra walnuts or a light sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- Add ½ cup golden raisins for extra sweetness.
- Replace walnuts with pecans for a different nut flavor.
- Use a cream cheese glaze instead of full frosting for a lighter finish.
- Substitute part of the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a tropical twist.
