Zubereitung von Gourmet Carrot Cake
- Preheat oven to 315°F (160°C).
- Grease and flour a deep 9-inch round cake tin.
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup molasses, and 4 large eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups grated carrots and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake for 1 ½ - 1 ¾ hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, beating until light and fluffy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top. For an extra-special treat, cut the cake horizontally and sandwich the layers together with half the frosting, then frost the top with the remaining frosting.
