Carrot Cake

Carrot cake step-by-step recipe with photos.

“A party without cake is just a meeting” – Julia Child

How true is that! And with a cake like this one, there won’t be a person who would not be pleased with it.

I have been wanting to bake a carrot cake for quite some time, and I’ve tried a few versions before over the last few years. But nothing impressed me as much as this recipe did. A moist, flavourful cake that will win your heart like no other. The sweetness from the carrots and pineapple combined with the nuttiness from almonds and coconut is an absolute delight.

I baked this cake in a bundt pan which gave it a beautiful crust all over. And it goes without saying, this cake is incomplete without a cream cheese frosting.

This carrot cake will not match any other carrot cake you have baked or tried before. This easy one-bowl recipe is definitely a must-try. Oh, did I say it has no oil or butter whatsoever!
