Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make the easiest carrot cake in the oven? Prepare your food. Weigh the carrots after peeling. Choose juicy, sweet varieties — they will make the pie tastier. Take category C1 eggs, refined, odorless vegetable oil.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, combine all the dry ingredients. Take a bowl, sift flour into it. By doing this you will not only remove possible debris, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make the cake rise better when baking.

Step 3

Step 3
Also add sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt — it will balance the taste of the pie. Mix the dry ingredients with a whisk. You can reduce the amount of sugar according to your taste.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the carrots well with a brush under running water, then peel. Grate it on a medium or fine grater into another bowl. You can also grind the carrots in a blender bowl.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour oil into the carrots and beat in the eggs. Stir the wet ingredients with a fork. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

Step 6

Step 6
Combine both masses, dry and wet, mix them with a whisk or spatula until smooth. The dough will have the consistency of thick sour cream.

Step 7

Step 7
Take a suitable baking dish. I have a glass one, 18 cm in diameter. The pie didnʼt turn out very high. If you want a more fluffy one, then increase the amount of products or take a mold with a smaller diameter. Grease the mold with a drop of vegetable oil. Pour the dough into it.

Step 8

Step 8
Bake the pie in the oven, preheated to 180°C, for 30 to 40 minutes. The exact time will depend on your oven and the size of the cake. Check readiness with a wooden stick — it will come out dry from the center. Remove the finished pie from the oven and cool completely, only then release it from the mold — while warm it is very tender and may fall apart.

Step 9

Step 9
Serve the pie to the table. Bon appetit!
