Carrot Cake Straight Up
Ingredients
- 3 sticks, plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (or more if you like)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups grated carrots
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter 3 (8-inch) cake pans with 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer. Add the sugar, and beat. In a medium bowl or on a piece of parchment, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients, alternating with the eggs, beating well after the addition of each. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Add the carrots and beat on medium speed until well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Divide between the 3 cake pans and bake until set and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, start checking at 25 – 30 minutes.
