Mandarin Carrot Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by coating it with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that the cake releases easily once it's baked.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Mix these together until they're well incorporated.
4
Now, it's time to add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, blend carrots, mandarin oranges, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest into the flour mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. This should take around 2 minutes.
5
With your batter now ready, pour it into the prepared baking dish.
6
Time to put your cake in the oven! Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
