Carrot Bundt Cake

 

Yield: 1 bundt cake - 14 slices

Carrot Bundt Cake

A slice of carrot bundt cake on a white plate.

This easy?Carrot Bundt Cake?is packed with warm spices, shredded carrots, and crunchy pecans. Decorated with cream cheese frosting, it's the perfect cake for holiday dinners or whenever you need a sweet and cozy dessert!

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time53 minutes
Total Time1 hour?8 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (300g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 1/2 cups freshly shredded carrots (11.5 oz)
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup raisins

For the Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350¡ãF. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
  2. Mix together the oil and sugars until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the eggs, vanilla, and sour cream and beat until creamy.
  3. Stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat until mixed in. Add the rest of the flour and beat again.
  4. Stir in the carrots, pecans, and raisins gently. Pour into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 53-54 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs sticking to it.
  6. Remove the pan and let the cake cool in it for 10-15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and flip it out. Let the cake cool completely.
  7. Beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and milk and beat until light and creamy.
  8. Spread or pipe the frosting on the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.
  9. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Don't skimp on greasing and flouring the edges of the pan to prevent the cake from sticking. I like using?Baker's Joy?because the oil and flour mixture is easy to spray into the pan.
  • Use a?box grater or food processor?to shred your carrots. Fresh carrots have a better moisture content. While the bags of shredded carrots from the store might be convenient, they are drier and will not give your baked goods the moisture they need.
  • While we prefer pecans in this recipe,?walnuts?would be another great option.
  • Do not overbake?the cake. All ovens run differently, so check with a skewer before the timer goes off.
  • To give the batter a?sweet citrus flavor, add one tablespoon of?orange zest?and one teaspoon of?orange extract.
  • Decorate the top of the cake with?cream cheese frosting. Garnish it with chopped nuts, sprinkles, or?.

  • 1?medium?yellow onion?diced (about 1 cup)
  • ??cup?(42?g)?
  • 1 ??cups?(355?ml)?whole milk
  • 2?cups?(475?ml)?low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ??cups?(355?ml)?heavy cream
  • 4?cups?(270?g)?broccoli florets??cut into small pieces
  • ??cup?(35?g)?peeled grated carrot?(this is usually 1 grated carrot for me, may substitute pre-cut ¡°matchstick¡± carrots)
  • 1?teaspoon?salt?plus more to taste, as needed
  • ??teaspoon?sugar
  • ??teaspoon?ground black pepper?plus more to taste, as needed
  • ??teaspoon?onion powder
  • ??teaspoon?garlic powder
  • ??teaspoon?ground mustard
  • 8?oz?(226?g)?sharp cheddar cheese + additional for topping?grated off the block (do not use pre-shredded cheese as it is likely it will clump and not melt properly)

Instructions

  • Place butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and cook until melted.
    5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
    1 medium yellow onion
  • Sprinkle flour over the butter/onion and whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
    ? cup all-purpose flour
  • Slowly, while whisking, add milk to the mixture. Whisk until combined and mixture is thickened.
    1 ? cups whole milk
  • Add chicken broth, heavy cream, broccoli, carrots, salt, sugar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground mustard. Whisk until combined.
    2 cups low sodium chicken broth,1 ? cups heavy cream,4 cups broccoli florets?,? cup peeled grated carrot,1 teaspoon salt,? teaspoon sugar,? teaspoon ground black pepper,? teaspoon onion powder,? teaspoon garlic powder,? teaspoon ground mustard
  • Bring to a boil over medium/high heat while stirring frequently. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  • Transfer the soup in batches to a blender or (preferred) use an immersion blender to puree. Puree as much of the soup as you would like until desired consistency is reached, I usually use an immersion blender and puree about 75% of the soup, leaving some pieces of broccoli intact.
  • Add grated cheese and stir until melted (keep heat on low). Add additional salt and pepper to taste and serve.
    8 oz sharp cheddar cheese + additional for topping

Notes

?Broccoli

I?usually buy 1 lb of fresh broccoli crowns and am left with enough after removing the stalks and cutting the florets.

Storing

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. I have never frozen this soup and have been hesitant to do so as the cream base can sometimes separate and make for a watery soup when reheated from frozen.
