How To Make carrot cake

Step 1

To puree carrots, boil on high heat for 10 minutes, and then blend in a blender.

Step 2

To make the cake, add all of your wet ingredients (eggs, oil and vanilla) into the sugar and use an electric mixer to blend in a bowl.
Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, plus the pureed carrots.
Step 4

Mix ALL of the ingredients– wet and dry– together until completely smooth.(pineapple, pecans, 3/4 cup coconut etc - save 1/4 cup coconut to sprinkle on top of the cake once its frosted)
Step 5

Transfer the mixture into three cake pans and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
Step 6

Wait until the cakes are cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting, layer by layer, and enjoy!
