Healthy Carrot Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for metric measurements).
2
Next, lightly coat and dust a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3
Sift together the dry ingredients, including all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda, in a large mixing bowl.
4
Mix the wet ingredients - buttermilk and oil - into the dry ingredients until they form a cohesive mixture.
5
Incorporate egg yolks into the batter, ensuring everything is well combined.
6
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until they become light and airy.
7
Step by step, gradually add white sugar to the egg whites while continuously whipping until stiff peaks form.
8
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, followed by adding grated carrots.
9
Transfer the prepared batter to your 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
10
Bake the cake in your preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11
Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
