Breads and Cakes

Carrot Cake

What better way to celebrate the spring season than with some delicious carrot cake.

Ingredients

One

1 1/4 cups applesauce

2 cups granulated sugar

3 eggs room temperature

Two

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

Three

2 cups grated carrots

1 cup chopped nuts optional

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup crushed pineapple, not drained!

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened

8 oz cream cheese softened

1 tsp vanilla

1 lb powdered sugar

top with nuts or coconut if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine #1 ingredients. Add #2 ingredients. Stir in #3 ingredients.
Pour into a lightly greased and floured 9 x 13 , two 9-inch pans or three 8-inch pans. (The cake is very moist so cutting parchment for the bottom of the pans will ensure they don’t stick).
Bake for 35-40 minutes for the 9×13 and 9-inch pans and 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch pans. You’re looking for an inserted toothpick to come out clean.
Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

For the frosting:

Beat the butter and cream cheese until nice and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until nice and smooth.
Invert the cake onto a cake plate or stand.
Apply a generous dollop of frosting and spread.
Gently place the second cake on top and continue frosting. Repeat with the third cake if you made three.
Refrigerate for an hour before serving for best results.

Sunday at the farm... We admired the chard, fenne Sunday at the farm...  We admired the chard, fennel, and pea plants, glowing in the golden hour. We looked at this new pear tree our team planted and talked about how we might get to taste it's fruit in another five to eight years when our daughters are teenagers.  Farming is for the eternal optimist, the ever-hopeful, the patient.  #floridafarm
