The most popular cake she bakes is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Study the recipe given below and answer the questions that follow: Prep time 20 minutes Cook time 1 hour Servings 12 Calories 464 kcal Ingredients Carrot Cake • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar • 2¼ cups finely grated carrots • 1 cup each of chopped walnuts & raisins • ½ cup crushed pineapple • 1½ tsp. salt • 2 tsp. baking soda • ¼ tsp. nutmeg • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon • 2¾ cup (360 g) cake flour • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract • 3 large eggs, at room temperature • 1¼ cup (250 g) vegetable oil Cream Cheese Frosting • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened • ½ cup salted butter • 4 cups powder sugar • 1 tsp. vanilla extract Instructions Carrot Cake 1. Heat the oven to 350° F. 2. Prepare two 8-inch round baking pans. 3. Beat the sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs in a mixer until it is light yellow, about 3 minutes. 4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed; slowly and gently add in the dry ingredients. 5. Fold in raisins, nuts, carrots, and pineapple. 6. Divide the batter equally between the pans. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out nearly clean. A few crumbs are what you want for a MOIST cake! 7. Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack – this will take 25 minutes. Cream Cheese Frosting 1. ONCE THE CAKE HAS COOLED COMPLETELY, place room-temperature butter, cream cheese, and vanilla into mixer and blend for 1 minute on medium. 2. Add powder sugar, one cup at a time, until frosting is light and creamy. Whip cream cheese frosting for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. 3. Cover cake in frosting – this takes 12 minutes.
