How to Make Adele S Sumptuous Carrot Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add 2 cups grated carrots, 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional), and ½ cup crushed pineapple (optional) to the batter and stir gently to combine.
- Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
