Awesome carrot cake. Step by step recipe

1. Before making carrot cake, as in starbucks, you must carefully sift the flour so that it is saturated with oxygen and get rid of excess lumps.
2. Pre-rinse thoroughly with carrots, dry it. Then clean and rub on a medium grater.
3. We clean the walnuts and grind it with a blender: you should get about ⅔ cup (or a coffee cup).
4. Next, wash the raisins: if it is large, then it must be chopped with a knife.
5. Pour sugar into a separate container and pour vegetable oil, whisk with a mixer: so that the sugar begins to dissolve.
6. We begin to introduce the eggs into the whipped mass one at a time, each time we beat the mixer with a couple of minutes: the mass will increase in volume by one and a half times.
7. Then, according to the starbucks carrot cake recipe, add flour, pour in the confectionery baking powder and mix thoroughly all the ingredients with a mixer until a homogeneous plastic consistency is obtained.
8. Season with cinnamon, pour a little nutmeg and ginger (the last two spices can be omitted). Then pour a little vanilla extract. Lightly add salt and mix with a mixer.
9. After that, pour the grated carrots, raisins and chopped nuts. Stir until a homogeneous consistency.
10. We take a baking dish, cover it with parchment, lightly grease the edges of the container with a piece of butter and sprinkle with flour. It is best to use a small diameter container to make the carrot cake with raisins and nuts turn out to be as beautiful as in starbucks: in this case, divide the amount of dough into two cakes.
11. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees and send the cake to bake: starbucks carrot cake is baked depending on the diameter of the mold, the amount of dough and the features of the kitchen equipment. With a diameter of 14 cm, bake for 35 minutes.
12. While the cakes are baking, prepare a cream for the carrot cake.
13. Cut a piece of butter (it is necessary to use oil at room temperature) in small cubes and send it to the container. Add the icing sugar and beat with a mixer until smooth.
14. Pour cheese into the creamy mass and mix well. After adding a little vanilla extract, squeeze the juice from the lemon and interrupt the cream for the carrot cake for a few more minutes.
15. Everything, delicious cream is ready. We cover it with cling film and set it to cool in the refrigerator.
16. After the cakes have cooled, we cut off the swollen top, thereby leveling the surface. We take the cream from the refrigerator and collect the cake, spreading each with a good even layer. Then we send the cake to the refrigerator, and after 4 hours we serve.
