Delicious Carrot Cake
Using Re-Hydrated Grated Carrots!

If you're looking for a moist, delicious carrot cake recipe, we've GOT IT!

If you've got regular carrots on hand, then you might be interested in getting our eBook (scroll down to the page below the "how-to" section with the 20 Taste-Tested Recipes eBook cover).

In the Recipes eBook, we also list the quantities of fresh carrots instead of dehydrated carrots!

Ingredients for Delicious Carrot Cake

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups plain flour
• 3 cups re-hydrated well-drained finely grated carrots (about 1-1/2 cups of dehydrated finely-grated carrots)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
  

Frosting:

• 2 8-oz blocks of cream cheese
• 2 16-oz. boxes 10x confectioner's sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Here's How to Make This Delicious Carrot Cake:

NOTE: First, set out the cream cheese to let it come to room temperature, chop the nuts, and re-hydrate the carrots.

1. Mix well the first three ingredients: sugar, oil, and eggs.
2. Add in the next four ingredients: cinnamon, baking soda, salt, flour.
3. Stir in by hand the next two ingredients: carrots and walnuts.
4. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, in a 9"x 12" baking dish/pan.
5. Mix the frosting ingredients together: cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, vanilla.
6. Frost the cake with half the frosting while it is still warm (let it seep into the cake!)—Frost with remaining frosting when cake has cooled completely—and promptly refrigerate...

and let's see how long this cake hangs around your home!

I made this cake for my mom's birthday and usually my dad turns up his nose at store-bought cakes with their frosting—it's especially the frosting that he doesn't like—so imagine my surprise when he had a slice of THIS cake and said the frosting was delicious!

And he had more than one slice too! Thanks dad!

And mom says, "Thanks for the cake!"

NOTE: Credit for this recipe goes to Debby Wilson, who kindly shared this fantastic recipe with us! Debby used to work with my husband and she happily shared her recipe with him. Boy, are we glad she did! (Saw her the other day in Walmart!)

PLEASE NOTE: This cake is huge! You might halve all the ingredients (for half the cake!) so you're not tempted to pig out...

Different Types of Carrots Yield Different Results!

There are many different types of carrots. The most common type is the orange carrot, but there are also white, yellow, and purple carrots. Each type of carrot has its own unique flavor and nutritional value. When choosing carrots for your soup, be sure to select the type that best suits your taste.

Orange carrots are the most popular type of carrot. They are also the sweetest and most nutritious. Orange carrots are a good source of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for vision, immunity, and cell growth.

White carrots are less sweet than orange carrots and have a slightly bitter taste. They are a good source of fiber and vitamins C and K.

Yellow carrots are similar to white carrots in terms of taste and nutrition. They are slightly sweeter than white carrots and are a good source of vitamin A, potassium, and beta-carotene.

Purple carrots are the least sweet type of carrot. They have a nutty flavor and are a good source of antioxidants. Purple carrots are also a good source of vitamins A, C, and K.
