Carrot Cake




Asalaam aleykum,
Been a while since I posted a recipe. This is a recipe I learnt from my girl "W" while we were living together in Turkey. Its a quick recipe and healthy. The cake is moist but I have noticed at times it can be a little dense depending on the carrots.

Ingredients:
5 eggs
2 cups of flour
2 cups of finely grated carrots(8-10 big carrots)
1 cup of sugar ( I use 2/3 of a cup)
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of Cinnamon powder
Optional: Add vanilla extract 1 teaspoon.
Some teaspoons of Milk


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a round cake pan.
Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Add the cinnamon & optional vanilla. Stir in the carrots and mix it well then finally add the flour and baking powder. The batter will have a deep orange hue; if you think it's very thick you can add a few teaspoons of milk. Then pour the mixture in the prepared cake pan.

Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let it cool.

You can serve the cake as it is. Or add whipped cream or frosting. I love it as it is.
