Hello everyone! Welcome to The Unsalted Kitchen, by Dioza. I'm May, but friends and family call me Dioza. I'm a Filipino who's married to a wonderful man from Texas. My father-in-law was from Holland and his wife was from Kentucky. I want to share my cooking with all who seek a healthier diet. I am vlogging my unsalted and low sodium dishes to help others like my father-in-law, who started having chronic kidney disease and blood pressure problems at the age of 90. His kidney doctor recommended a daily sodium intake between 1,300mg and 1,500mg. I am going to do my best to make every dish and video simple and easy to understand. It is my hope to help other people.
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to like, share, & subscribe to see all my new videos.
I HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT MY CHANNEL. WHATEVER I MAKE FROM THIS CHANNEL WILL BE DONATED TO PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED, BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES. THERE WILL BE VIDEOS FOR YOU TO SEE WHERE MY YOUTUBE FUNDS WILL BE GOING TO.
The BEST Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This is my favorite recipe for homemade carrot cake! This cake is so easy to make, perfectly moist, and topped with an easy homemade cream cheese frosting.
INGREDIENTS & MEASUREMENT CONVERTERS BELOW
For the carrot cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (less if you don't like strong taste)
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup grated carrots, lightly packed
1 cup zucchini, lightly pack
1/2 cup gala apple or 1 medium size
For the cream cheese frosting:
1 (8-ounce) package brick style cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3 Tbsp. coconut oil
6.oz white chocolate
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the carrot cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray or brush with butter two 6-inch round cake pans well with non stick cooking spray (you can also line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper for easier removal) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the rest of the ingredients mix until well combined.
Pour the cake batter evenly between both prepared cake pans. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until the tops of the cakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of each one comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and allow to cool in the pans for about 20-25 minutes. Once the cakes have cooled, remove from the pans and return the cakes to the wire rack to finish cooling.
To make the cream cheese frosting:
put chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and melt chocolate for 30-60 secs with coconut oil
mix cream cheese and chocolate mixture until smooth.
To assemble the cake:
Level the tops of each cake with a knife or cake leveler. Place one of the cakes on a cake stand, top with a little over 1/4 cup of the frosting, and smooth it out into one even layer. Place the other cake on top and use the remaining frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake. Top with pecans or other toppings of choice if desired.
