Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake carrot cake with walnuts? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Peel the carrots and rinse in running water to remove dirt. Chop the walnuts a little with a knife and fry in a dry frying pan for several minutes until a characteristic smell appears. When frying, stir the nuts constantly to prevent them from burning. After turning off the heat, immediately pour the nuts into another bowl, as they will begin to burn in a hot frying pan.

Step 2

Step 2
To prepare the dough, take any deep bowl so that it is convenient to knead the dough in it. Everything will be mixed by hand, so don’t be afraid of splashes flying around. Grate the peeled carrots on a fine or medium grater directly into the bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Then add eggs and a little ground cinnamon to the grated carrots. If you like the rich aroma of cinnamon, you can add more. I like its light, unobtrusive scent.

Step 4

Step 4
Sift the cake flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Pour vegetable oil into the bowl with the carrots. Then add sugar and flour with soda. Mix all ingredients with a spoon, whisk or wooden spatula.

Step 5

Step 5
The dough turns out quite thick. Add the roasted nuts and stir.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the finished dough into a suitable baking dish, greased with a small amount of vegetable oil. It can be glass, ceramic, silicone or, like mine, disposable foil.

Step 7

Step 7
Bake the cake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven. Pierce the cake with a wooden skewer and check for doneness. It should remain dry when pulled out. Remove the finished cake from the oven and cool slightly.

Step 8

Step 8
The cooled cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or decorated with cream and berries. Enjoy your tea!
