FAQ’s
What is a secret ingredient to moisten cakes?
Adding olive oils will make your cakes moist and give it the best flavor.
How do you make a dry carrot cake moist?
A few ways to moisten your dry cake that is already baked.
- Brush with simple syrup glaze. Velez recommends adding a simple syrup glaze to your cake layers if they end up coming out too dry.
- Soak the cake in milk.
- Fill the cake with mousse or jam.
- Place frosting on the cake.
- Place it in the fridge.
Why do carrot cakes use oil instead of butter?
Carrot cake is oil based rather than butter based. This helps it keep moist and lasts for a few days. Unfortunately, it also means you lose the leavening power that creaming butter and sugar would bring. (Creaming, or beating together the two ingredients on high speed, aerates the butter.)
Is olive oil or vegetable oil better for cakes?
Olive oil leaves your cake sponge incredibly delicate, moist and spongy, and removes the chance of the sponge being heavy or dense. The swap from vegetable to olive oil is a very simple one, and is one you should make, for both flavor and health reasons.

There is some optional ingredients, such as pecans but I prefer not to add them, which is my preference.
How To.
Mix the ingredients according to the recipe attached and bake in the oven that is preheated. Once baked and tested its done then place on the cooler racks.
Leave in the baking pans for about 5 minutes. Let them set a little first.
Once cooled enough take out of the pans, leave to cool further. Carrot cake may break if handled to early.
Frosting.
Frosting the cake with cream cheese frosting according to the recipe. If its a warm day you may need to keep the frosting in the fridge. As it is made of cream cheese and butter, which melts easily. Especially if you use normal cream cheese and not full cream cheese.
Once frosted you may need to keep the cake in the fridge as well.
The carrot cake was decorated with a cinnamon pattern.
Then cut and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
