Carrot Cake

I have been looking for a better recipe of carrot cake . I used to have this recipe , that needs 3 sticks of butter to make a 2 layers of carrot cake . No i don’t have any complains about it , but the 3 sticks of butter plus another stick for the cream cheese icing ,doesn’t make me feel better about it . Luckily i found this one recipe that does not even require any butter !!  And it tasted so good , i don’t even bother to make it into a round cake , but i made it into cupcakes and loaf cake . And since i didn’t have plain yogurt on hand , i used whatever yogurt we had and the closest that i could think of was Orange Creme Yogurt .. and i was right , it turned out to be really good . So here is recipe ..

12 oz. of all purpose flour

12 oz. of grated carrot, i used about 4 medium size of carrots

1 tsp. of baking soda

1 tsp. of baking powder

1/2 tsp. of salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. all spice

10 oz. of sugar

2 oz of brown sugar

3 large eggs

6 oz of plain yogurt

6 oz of vegetable oil

1. In a small bowl , mix together all purpose flour , baking soda , baking powder and salt . Set aside .

2. Grate carrots in a large bowl , once it’s done , pour the flour mixture into the carrot , and toss until it’s mixed well .

3. In a food processor , mix well eggs , yogurt , sugar and brown sugar . Once it’s mixed well , drizzle the vegetable oil while it’s still running , and then pour this mixture into the grated carrot mixture . Stir until just combined .

4. Bake for cupcakes at 350 F about 15 minutes or for a loaf pan for 40 minutes .
