Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Carrots
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 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.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. You should have about 2 1/2 cups of grated carrots. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until blended and slightly frothy.
Add the honey, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots and raisins until evenly distributed.
Pour the carrot mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the kugel is set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares or servings.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
