How To Make Carrot Cake Recipe High Altitude?

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Bake: 1 hour

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder (you can double this if you feel the recipe needs it)
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract. (I used amaretto in place of vanilla extract for some extra flavor)
1 package (12 oz.) frozen grated carrots or 2 cups fresh grated carrots.
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar

Instruction

Step-1.

Lightly grease a greased oven-proof pan.

Step-2.

Preheat your oven to 350 F and bake the prepared cake in this pan for 60 minutes.

Step-3.

Now remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before icing it.

Step-4.

Now whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.

Step-5.

In another mixing bowl, whisk the sour cream and eggs until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract; whisk to combine. Gently fold in the flour mixture using careful strokes until combined.

Step-6.

Beat the carrots with an electric mixer until smooth in a separate mixing bowl.

Step-7.

Beat in the buttermilk, oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Fold the carrot mixture into the batter using slow strokes until just incorporated.

Step-8.

Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into three equally-sized logs about 4 inches long. Cut each log into 1 inch wide slices to make neat strips or diamonds (or other shapes).

Step-9.

Place the strips on top of each other to form 1 large cake (this will be the top and bottom tiers, and you will have 1 strip left over for decorating if you like). If you are using the carrot cake recipe high altitude in a loaf pan, then place those strips around the inside edge of the pan.

Step-10.

Cover and store in a warm place until the evening before serving.
