Autumn Carrot Spice Cake step by step
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a large bundt pan. I use softened unsalted butter and a pastry brush to slather an ample amount in all the nooks and crannies. Always tap out any excess flour..
- Put the first ten ingredients (no flour) in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with a whisk. This is what I call a slough..
- Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon just until mixed. Do not over mix..
- Transfer batter to prepared bundt pan using a rubber spatula/spoon. Tap pan on counter to ensure there are no air pockets..
- Place cake on center rack of oven to bake 55-60 minutes. Cake will test with a pick..
- Remove cake from oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and finish cooling on rack..
- Make the frosting by placing all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mixing well with a wooden spoon..
- Frost the cooled cake with the frosting using a butter knife..
- Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on top of cake for decoration..
- Serves 12 generously. Keeps at room temp on a cake plate with a dome..
- Note: If you wish, you can add up to one cup nuts to the cake batter. Add them when you add the flour. Walnuts would be my choice here. If you have a convection oven reduce temp to 325 and bake the same amount of time..
