Description

Saftiger Karottenkuchen mit feiner Zimtnote, goldbraun gebacken. Zarte Krume, nussig durch Mandeln, dezent süß, angenehm feucht. Geriebene Karotten sorgen für Frische und eine leuchtend orange Farbe.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 375 g carrots, grated
  • 250 g flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 250 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 250 ml neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or canola oil)
  • 4 eggs
  • 200 g ground almonds
  • Fat for greasing the baking pan
  • 300 g cream cheese
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • A splash of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-assisted/convection). Grease a springform pan thoroughly with butter or oil, ensuring the base and sides are well coated to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Peel and finely grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Set the grated carrots aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, neutral oil, and ground cinnamon. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, pale, and slightly thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the grated carrots and ground almonds to the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the carrots and almonds are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  6. Gradually add the flour and baking powder mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or on low speed with the mixer until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake dense.
  7. Pour the finished batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to smooth the top.
  8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attached, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes and test again.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then gently run a knife around the edge of the cake and release the springform ring. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before applying the frosting.
  10. To prepare the frosting, place the cream cheese and a splash of lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously until the frosting is smooth, fluffy, and well combined. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired for extra tanginess.
  12. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake using a spatula or palette knife, creating a smooth finish. If desired, decorate with additional grated carrots, chopped nuts, or marzipan carrots.
  13. Allow the frosted cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to help the frosting set. Slice and serve your Karottenkuchen, enjoying its moist texture and delightful flavor.

Notes

For an extra touch, you can decorate the cake with chopped walnuts, pistachios, or marzipan carrots. The cake stays moist for several days and can be made a day ahead. Be sure to let the cake cool completely before adding the frosting, or it may melt. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the batter for a spicier flavor. Store the cake in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese frosting.
