Frosting For Carrot Cake Recipe Biography
Source(google.com.pk)Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil and flour the sides of two 9x2-inch round cake pans, tapping out any excess flour. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the oil, eggs, carrots, brown sugar, walnuts, raisins, and vanilla on medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just blended, about 30 seconds. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake until the tops of the cakes spring back when lightly pressed and a cake tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes.
Let cool in the pans on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the inside edge of the pans to loosen the cakes, invert them onto the rack, remove the pans, and carefully peel away the parchment. Set the cakes aside to cool completely before frosting.
Make the frosting
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter with the mixer on medium speed until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat on medium high until blended and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Cover the frosting and set aside at room temperature until the layers are completely cool.
Assemble the cake
Carefully set one cake upside down on a large, flat serving plate. Using a metal spatula, evenly spread about 1-1/2 cups of the frosting over the top of the cake. Top with the remaining cake layer, upside down. Spread a thin layer (about 1/3 cup) of frosting over the entire cake to seal in any crumbs and fill in any gaps between layers. Refrigerate until the frosting is cold and firm, about 20 minutes. Spread the entire cake with the remaining frosting. For more tips on how to frost a layer cake, watch our video.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. The cake is best served slightly chilled or at room temperature.
Make Ahead Tips
The flavors of this moist cake only improve with time, so feel free to bake and frost the cake up to a few days ahead.
To make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat the inside of three 9-inch round layer-cake pans with cooking spray. Line the bottoms with wax paper.
Stir together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add sugar, prune puree and oil and whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until blended. Stir in carrots, pineapple and walnuts.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a rack. Loosen edges and invert cakes onto racks. Peel off paper and let cool completely.
To make frosting: Combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
To assemble cake: Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a scant 1/2 cup of the frosting over it. Top with another cake layer and spread another scant 1/2 cup frosting. Place the third layer on top and spread with the remaining frosting.
For the cake:
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts
For the frosting:
6 ounces cream cheese
6 ounces goat cheese
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
Whole walnuts, to garnish
Preheat the oven to 375°F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
Grease two 8-inch cake pans and line both with a round of parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using an electric mixer on medium-low, combine the olive oil, buttermilk, sugars, eggs, orange zest and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. With a spoon, fold in the grated carrots and walnuts.
Divide the batter equally between the two pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then carefully invert them out of the pans, peel off the parchment, and set them right side up to cool completely on the rack.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. With an electric mixer on medium-low, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, orange zest and vanilla. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar until the frosting reaches desired consistency.
To frost the cake, first spread a small dab of icing on the cake plate. Cut narrow strips of parchment or paper and place them in a grid on the cake plate, leaving the center open. They should be close enough together that the cake layer sits on top of the paper with no part of the diameter exposed directly to the plate. See: How to Frost a Layer Cake
Using a serrated bread knife, carefully carve off the domed top of one of the layers as evenly as possible. Center this first layer on the plate. Using an offset spatula, apply a "crumb coat": a thin layer of frosting meant to keep the crumbs down. (Refrigerate the layer at this point if the crumbs are coming up.)
Stir the frosting and place about 1/3 of it over the bottom cake layer. Spread the frosting with the spatula until even and smooth. Make sure that the frosting is thicker around the edges.
Place the second layer on top and apply a crumb coat. Refrigerate. Place about half of the remaining frosting around the sides of the cake, working the frosting around the edges. Spread the remaining frosting across the top of the cake, dipping the spatula in warm water and wiping it off between strokes to keep it warm and clean for a
I've long adored carrot cake. It's usually paired with cream cheese frosting which I find utterly addictive, and the inclusion of carrots gives a sense that having a big slice is somehow beneficial to my health. Mental health, at least.
I have many carrot cake notches in my belt; I make it often and each time the recipe gets a little tweak. Carrot cake is a great culinary example of how cooking is a never ending quest to discover the best combinations of ingredients. Even when you're making a tried and true classic.
The last carrot cake I made didn't break all the rules, but it broke one cardinal rule of baking.
First a little history: by now I've cooked for plenty of people with dietary needs, whether they are vegetarian, allergic to sugar (yep!), garlic (yep!), or nuts and dairy, and most recently the gluten-free crowd. Recently, I found myself making a carrot cake under a different set of challenging circumstances.
A few weeks ago, I helped celebrate a very special birthday for someone who is vaguely vegan — we say vaguean — and confessed that she couldn't remember ever having a homemade birthday cake. When I learned this I knew I had to remedy it. She told me it didn't have to be vegan, but how about something mildly healthy, with just a hint of reason? Obviously the answer was carrot cake.
To satisfy the birthday girl's desire for both nutrition and decadence, I made the carrot cake with small adjustments. I cut that cream cheese frosting with some goat cheese, whose protein is easier to digest than cow's milk and gives the frosting a wonderful tang. I bumped up the usual carrot content and added orange zest to both the cake and the frosting to give it more brightness. I used a little less sugar than usual, but not by a lot. Instead of butter, I swapped in olive oil.
Obviously, making a vaguean carrot cake this wasn't the real challenge.
The real challenge was that I was away for the weekend in a house with no measuring cups or spoons; fine for grilling steaks or making a bowl of pasta, but not ideal for a baking project. The cardinal rule in baking is measure. A glimmer of hope came when I fond a stack of 9-ounce plastic party cups; not an exact cup but close. I also found a coffee scoop, which measures 2 tablespoons.
To my great relief, it turned out well. In fact, it was the perfect fall birthday cake and no one, not even the children, left any cake behind.
Later on when I was home with my measuring tools, I made it again and corrected any little hiccups. Surprisingly, I was pretty close. When you love a dish that much, you really can almost make it with your eyes closed. So yes, some rules are made to be broken, but you better go back and check to see if you pulled it off anyway.
