Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 120 milliliters milk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots and brown sugar gently using a spatula until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool in the dish for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
