Carrot cake with cream cheese mascarpone frosting

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot cake has been a well-known dessert since the 1800s, becoming especially popular in English-speaking countries. The spiced, soft cake and the creamy mascarpone cream cheese topping create a perfect harmony. This dessert is an excellent choice during the autumn and winter seasons, but it can be prepared any time you crave something special. The special thing about carrot cake is that the natural sweetness of the carrots allows for a reduced amount of sugar while still providing an excellent flavor.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

    3

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the oil and vanilla sugar and mix well.

    4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    5

    Fold in the grated carrots and ground walnuts until evenly distributed.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7

    While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

    8

    Let the cake cool completely before frosting. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.

    9

    Garnish with grated carrots or chopped walnuts, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set.
