Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Bake using  Watkins Products

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting


This is my favorite Carrot Cake recipe. The cake is yummy and moist and the nuts add crunch to every bite. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect compliment to the cinnamon-spiced cake.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

1 cup (100 grams) pecans or walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
3/4 pound (340 grams) raw carrots (about 2 1/2 cups finely grated)
1/2 cup of crushed pineapple, well drained
2 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons Watkins Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Watkins Gourmet Cinnamon
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated white sugar
1 cup (240 ml) canola oil
2 teaspoons Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla Extract

Note
This cake can be baked in a 9 x 13 x 2 inch (23 x 23 x 5 cm) pan. Just increase the baking time to 30-40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Butter or spray two 9 x 2 inch (23 x 5 cm) round or square cake pans and dust with flour or line the bottoms of the pans with a circle of parchment paper.

Toast pecans or walnuts for about 8 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop coarsely.

Peel and finely grate the carrots. Set aside.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

In bowl of electric mixer (or with hand mixer), beat the eggs until frothy (about 1 minute). Gradually add the sugar and beat until the batter is thick and light colored (about 3-4 minutes). Slowly add the oil and beat in the vanilla extract.

Add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated. With a large rubber spatula fold in the grated carrots, pineapple, and chopped nuts. Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared pans and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. After about 10 minutes invert the cakes onto the wire rack, remove the pans and parchment paper, and then cool completely before frosting.

To assemble, place one cake layer, top side down, onto your serving plate. Spread with about one third of the frosting. Gently place the other cake, top of cake facing up, onto the frosting, and spread the rest of the frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

If desired, press toasted and finely chopped nuts on the sides or the top of the cake. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Serves 10-12.

Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, room temperature
8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 – 2 tablespoons milk or cream
1 teaspoon (4 grams) Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla Extract or Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and butter, on low speed, until very smooth with no lumps. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and beat, on low speed, until fully incorporated and smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk as needed for spreading consistency. Beat in the vanilla extract. Frosting should be very thick. If you are making a round or square layer cake and like lots of frosting, add another 8 ounces of cream cheese.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for Your Next Picnic or Barbecue
















Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These cookies are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are my favorite oatmeal raisin cookies. Bake these cookies for your next picnic or barbecue. They'll be a hit! They also taste great with a glass of cold milk for a snack.

I've made these cookies a little smaller and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies to make ice cream sandwiches. Divine!

Package them individually in plastic sandwich bags and place in a large napkin lined basket for a school bake sale or carnival. People can buy individual cookies for a treat to nibble while enjoying the activities.

I baked these cookies using just the Vanilla Extract as a flavoring. They are absolutely delicious. If you like a little spice add some Watkins Cinnamon.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon Watkins Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons Watkins Vanilla Extract
3 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups raisins
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Cinnamon (optional) Add with dry ingredients.
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients; set aside.
  3. Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in mixer bowl and mix on low.
  4. To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color of the dough lightens.
  5. Carefully stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible. Start mixer on low or the flour will fly out of the bowl.
  6. Do not over mix. (Over mixing develops the gluten, making the cookies tough.) Add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate.
  7. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray or lined with parchment paper. I rolled the dough into balls to make the cookies evenly shaped.
  8. Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.
  9. Remove from oven; let cookies cool slightly on baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Makes 36 cookies.

Chocolate Rum Sauce, a Valentine's Day Treat

Valentine's Day is Friday February 14th.

This Chocolate Rum Sauce when warm is thin enough for dipping fruit and other foods and for pouring over ice cream. The sauce thickens as it cools but does not harden.


Chocolate Rum Sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. Watkins Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. semisweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
1/2 to 1 tsp. Watkins Rum Extract
1/8 tsp. grated orange zest

For Dipping
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and blotted dry
1 pint fresh raspberries, washed and dried
2 bananas, peeled, cut into 2 to 2 1/2-inch slices
Salted pretzels
Pound cake cubes

In a medium saucepan over low hear, bring the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter to a rolling boil. Remove from heat; add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts. Stir in the rum extract and orange zest.

Arrange dipping food on a platter. Serve with warm chocolate rum sauce. Makes about 3/4 cup of sauce.

Suggestions:
Substitute Watkins Orange Extract or Watkins Raspberry Extract for the Rum Extract and omit the cinnamon.
Pour over vanilla ice cream for a delicious topping.
