Cardamom-Spiced Carrot Cake with Whipped Cream-Cheese Frosting Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cardamom, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Fold in the grated carrots.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream-cheese frosting over the top. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
-
Let the cake rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
