7. Cool the Cake:
Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
8. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting (Optional):
While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until you reach your desired sweetness and consistency. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then mix until fully combined.
9. Assemble the Cake:
Once the cake layers have cooled, spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on top of the first layer. Place the second cake layer on top, then frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. You can also add extra chopped walnuts on top for garnish, if desired.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Cut a slice and enjoy the rich, moist, and flavorful carrot walnut cake. This cake is perfect for dessert, afternoon tea, or a special occasion. It’s best served fresh, but it will stay moist for several days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips for Success:
- Fresh Grated Carrots: Make sure to grate the carrots fresh. Pre-packaged shredded carrots may be too dry and lack the moisture needed to keep the cake tender.
- Add-ins: If you love the flavor of coconut, raisins, or pineapple, feel free to add them to the batter for an extra twist. Just be sure to adjust the proportions accordingly.
- Frosting Variation: If you’re not a fan of cream cheese frosting, you can opt for a simple powdered sugar glaze or whipped cream for a lighter topping.
- Storing Leftovers: Keep leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze individual slices by wrapping them in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months.
