Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what you’ll need to make this scrumptious creation.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots
- 1 cup grated raw beets
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set it aside – we don’t want our flour getting lonely!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and beets, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until everything is well blended and looking colorful!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract. Keep whisking until you have a glorious mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix – we’re making a cake, not a workout!
- If you’re feeling nutty, fold in the chopped walnuts for a little crunch!
- Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans and smooth out the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Try not to eat them before they cool – your patience will be rewarded!
- Once cooled, you can frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or enjoy it plain. Either way, it’s bound to be a hit at your next gathering!
There you have it! A deliciously vibrant and healthy twist on cake that’s sure to impress everyone. Feel free to experiment with the toppings or even add a pinch of love because every great recipe deserves it! Happy baking!
