Summer is a time for gathering, and we think you should let your guests eat cake! This week we are sharing a light and tasty desert - Apple Carrot Cake. This recipe is so easy to make and you most likely you already have all these ingredients in your house.
Perfectly paired with Grenache Rosé. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups carrots, grated
- 1 ½ cups apples, chopped
- 1 cup walnuts (omit or substitute with a nut of your preference)
Directions:
- Combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, and oil.
- Sift together dry ingredients and stir into liquid mixture.
- Add carrots, apples, and nuts. Pour batter into 9 x 13-inch pan and bake in 325℉ oven for 60 to 70 minutes. Test to make sure it is done with toothpick.
- Frost with cream cheese frosting if desired. I like to skip the frosting and just dust with powdered sugar.
