Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (grated) Carrots
- 4 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
Wash, peel, and grate the carrots until you have 4 cups of grated carrots. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture over the grated carrots and mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the carrot mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
