Comment préparer Dad's Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
  2. **Make the cake:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon ground allspice.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups grated carrots and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. **Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened), 3 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  9. Frost the cooled cake and garnish with extra chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired.
