Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, and olive oil. Mix well.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Peel and grate the carrots. Fold the grated carrots into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
Slice and serve the Reindeer Carrot Cake. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Grate the carrots finely to ensure they integrate well into the batter and provide an even texture.
- Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese for the frosting to ensure smooth mixing.
- Feel free to add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter for added crunch and flavor.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the cream cheese frosting.
- For an extra festive touch, decorate the cake with edible reindeer decorations or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
