Try it and I think you will agree that it is the best!! My fiance LOVES carrot cake, and yesterday was his birthday so I decided to look for a carrot cake recipe.

Carrot cake step by step
- Pre heat oven to 180°c.
- Grease 2 9"×2" (23cm×5cm) cake pans..
- Whisk flour and all dry ingredients..
- Beat the eggs until frothy, about a min., add sugar gradually and beat until thick and light coloured. 3 -4 min. Add oil in a steady stream and beat in vanilla..
- Add flour mixture and beat just until incorporated..
- Fold in grated carrots and raisins, divide between the pans and bake 25-30 mins. Or until a skewer comes out clean..
- Cool on a wire 10 mins then turn cakes on to a rack to cool completely..
- I did a simple lemon icing to cover.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing.
