My daughter and I absolutely LOVE carrot cake! Whenever we are on a California roadtrip we stop by a place called Granzella’s to get a slice of THE BEST carrot cake. And every now and then we treat ourselves to this Homemade Carrot Cake. Only sometimes because we can hardly resist eating the entire cake!

Why You’ll Love This Easy Carrot Cake

• Simple ingredients you likely already have at home
• Moist and soft texture thanks to fresh carrots and oil
• Perfectly spiced flavor with cinnamon and vanilla
• Quick preparation – ready for the oven in about 20 minutes

Tips for the Best Carrot Cake

🥕Use freshly grated carrots instead of pre-shredded for better moisture.
🥕 Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake soft.
🥕 Let the cake cool fully before frosting to prevent melting.
🥕 Add pineapple or raisins for extra flavor if desired.

✔️ Final Tip: Carrot cake tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to develop, making it a great make-ahead dessert.

Ingredients

Cake:

• 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups peeled and grated carrots
• 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts

Cream cheese frosting:

• 4 oz. cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup butter softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°c. Line the base of 2 x 9 inch round cake tins with parchment paper, and grease the sides. Set aside.
• Add the all purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
• Add the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract to another large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold through the grated carrot and chopped walnuts.
• Divide the cake batter between the 2 cake tins. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Allow to cool in the tins for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, add the softened cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on a high speed using wire whisk attachment for 2 minutes or until smooth.
• Add the powdered sugar to the bowl, one cup at a time, beating on a low speed to combine. Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and beat for 2 minutes or until pale and fluffy.
• Place 1 of the cakes on a cake plate, and top with half of the frosting. Place the second cake over the first, then spread the rest of the frosting over the top.

Notes

• The cakes are cooked through if they spring back when lightly touched in the center.  Alternatively, a skewer or toothpick can be inserted in the center of the cake.  If the skewer or toothpick comes out clean, the cake is cooked through.
• The batter can be baked as one larger cake rather than two smaller cakes.  If making one larger cake adjust the baking time accordingly.
• The top of the frosted cake can be decorated with chopped walnuts.

Deviled eggs are a timeless appetizer – creamy, tangy, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re prepping for brunch, a holiday spread, or a quick snack, these recipes will give you foolproof results plus flavorful variations to impress any crowd.

Maybe it’s after Easter and you have a boat load of hard boiled eggs to deal with. Maybe you need some show-stopping interesting appetizers for a party or get-together. Maybe you’re just craving deviled eggs.

Whatever your reason, these recipes are just what you need. No plain mayo and egg recipes here. These eggs have personality, flavor and are just. . .extra!

You need to get your eggs perfectly boiled first. I have used this Martha Stewart Boiled Egg method for years. The only trick I have found for easy peel eggs that actually works is to peel the eggs immediately once they are cool enough to handle.

Deviled eggs are simple yet elegant, making them a must-have recipe for any occasion. Start with the classic version, then experiment with bold flavors like avocado, bacon, or spicy sriracha. Once you master the base, the variations are endless.

Carrot Cake is my all-time favorite cake – is that weird? I don’t know but I just love all of the flavors and textures that carrot cake brings.

These are a great way to make carrot cake for a crowd in individual servings. Moist cupcakes topped with your favorite frosting (I’m partial to cream cheese frosting on carrot cake).

• I prefer these cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. They are also great with vanilla frosting, or buttercream (homemade or store bought). Check out the frosting recipes below.
• Adding cinnamon to the batter helps enhance the flavor of the carrot and bring out some of its natural notes of sweetness.

TIPS FOR COOKING EGGS IN AN INSTANT POT:

• You do not need the water to cover the eggs. It just needs to be about halfway up the eggs. 
• An ice bath or cold water is one of the best ways to ensure the eggs will peel easily after cooking. However, you can also add a teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water as that tends to help as well.
• Cooking time is only 5 minutes. The full cook time is approximately 15 minutes when taking into account pressurizing and releasing.

• Let the pot naturally release for 5 minutes before manually releasing and removing the eggs.
• Transfer eggs to colander then run under cold water until they are cool enough to handle.
