ORANGE CARROT CAKE

Posted On: 2024-10-11 12:56:27

Ingredients:

Wet ingredients:

1/3 cup oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon orange zest ( about half the zest of 1 large orange)

1 tablespoon orange juice

3 tablespoon buttermilk

Dry ingredients:

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots ( about 3 carrots)

Cream Cheese Icing:

extra orange zest for sprinkling (optional)

1 cup Confectioner Sugar

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice Add more or less to adjust consistency of the glaze

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 190c and spray or paper line your mini loaf pan.

In a large bowl, add all the wet ingredients together and whisk them smooth.

In a smaller bowl, blend all the dry ingredients together.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl, and then add the carrots. Fold the batter together using a rubber spatula, making sure to evenly distribute the carrots and incorporating all the flour mixture. The batter will be lumpy—which is ok, it produces a fluffier cake.

Pour the batter into the 12 cavity mini loaf pans and bake for 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cakes comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before removing them.

Glaze the cakes with an orange flavored cream cheese icing if using and sprinkle with extra orange zest.
