How to Make Super Moist Spelt Flour Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (325°F). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups spelt flour (or all-purpose flour), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  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, 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ½ cup raisins (optional).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ cup packed light brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
