Most delicious crunchy carrot cake

List of ingredients:

For the cake

Makes about 15 servings
Bake for 60-70 minutes at 350°F (180°C)

3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup of milk
2 cups grated carrots
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

For the frosting

8 oz package of cream cheese
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla flavor
3 tbsp water

Step-by-step guide:

Start by beating the eggs, one at a time

Add the oil

Blend it together and set aside

Flour time!

In another bowl, prepare the dry ingredients

Add the brown sugar

Add the baking powder

Add the cinnamon powder

A nice mixture of dry ingredients

Mix together carefully... or else you'll get a messy table.

Dry and wet ingredients are ready to be one

In with the dry

Blend the dry and the wet to one mixture

Now we are almost ready with the batter!

A much special guest appearance... making sure the cake gets extra delicious!

Milk time

Add the milk

Blend together. This might take a while but just be patient and work with it until you get a smooth batter.

The core ingredient

Chop the carrots so they fit inside the food processor

Ready to roll

Grated carrots within a few seconds

You can also buy ready made grated carrots from the store, but I just like to bake from scratch

Ready to add the carrots in the batter

Not only does the taste blend so well, but so does the colors!

Add the raisins (of course optional if you don't prefer the crunchy part)

Walnuts ready to dive in (also optional)

Blend walnuts, raisins and carrots into the batter

The final result of the batter

Grease the baking pan

Pour the batter into the baking pan, and let it bake for 60-70 minutes at 350°F (180°C)

It's time to make the frosting while the cake is baking!

Start with the cream cheese

Add the powdered sugar

It gets even sweeter...

Add the vanilla flavor

This is my to go vanilla flavor. Vanilla extracts are usually stronger in flavor due to the alcohol content. I love this as a substitute since I prefer alcohol free products. You can buy this at Trader Joe's.
