This homemade carrot cake recipe bakes up incredibly moist and soft. Don’t even think about getting a tiny slice of this cake because you WILL be back for more. I get asked for this recipe often so if you plan on taking this to an event have the recipe handy. I use finely grated baby carrots in this recipe simply because I love the sweetness and tenderness of baby carrots. You can use regular carrots as well.

This is fast, easy, moist and very TASTY!
YUM!

CHOCOLATE CAKE
1 ½ cup flour
3 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp soda
1 cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1/3 cup oil (I prefer canola.)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp vinegar
1 cup cold water
Put dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the center.
Put the oil, vanilla and vinegar in the center.
Pour the cold water over and stir to mix.
Pour batter into 8×8 pan.
Bake ½ hour @ 350F.

I like topping it with whipped cream, and raspberries (and if I am feeling really decadent chocolate sauce with Kaluha in it).

Question by Divera Tyley: What’s the best white cake recipe you have?
I want a moist, and soft white cake recipe that makes a medium sized cake. Thanks very much!! Any other great cake recipes are very welcome, but no angel food cakes (too many yolks to use up afterwards).

Best answer:

Answer by joyce
In order to make a true white cake, you are still going to have some left over egg yolks. If you add the yolks in this recipe, you will end up with a yellow cake.

Classic White Cake
* 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 6 large egg whites (3/4 cup)
* 3/4 cup milk
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 (9-inch) diameter by 1 1/2-inch deep layer pans or 1 (13 by 9 by 2-inch) pan, buttered and bottoms lined with parchment or waxed paper

Directions

The fine moist crumb of this cake complements any type of filling and frosting — the perfect celebratory cake.

Set a rack at the middle level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Combine egg whites, milk and vanilla extract. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to butter mixture then add half the milk mixture. Continue to alternate beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrape bowl and beater often. Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth top with a metal spatula. Bake cake(s) about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack, remove paper and let cool completely.

Variation:

CLASSIC YELLOW CAKE Substitute 3 large eggs and 1 egg yolk for all of the egg whites above.

You can use peach pie filling for this, but using fresh peaches makes it soooo good! seven small to medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and diced (I’m thinking that 8-10 would have been even better) 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ginger 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 18-ounce cake mix, yellow or your choice, unprepared 1 cup butter, melted Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 9 x 13 pan. In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, ginger and cornstarch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from stove. Pour peach mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix over top. Drizzle butter over the cake mix. Bake for 1 hour or until top is lightly browned and peaches are bubbling. Serve with whipped or ice cream.
