Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 1/4 | cups brown sugar |
| 1 | carrot, grated |
| 1/2 | cup yogurt |
| 1/2 | cup water |
| 1/3 | cup pecans, chopped |
| 1/2 | teaspoon baking powder |
| 2 | teaspoons ground cinnamon |
| 1 | teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 1/2 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| 2 | eggs |
| 1 | cup strawberries, diced |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare a 12-cup bundt cake pan by greasing and flouring it, ensuring the cake releases easily after baking.
-
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, grated carrot, yogurt, water, chopped pecans, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, salt, and eggs.
-
Beat all the ingredients together on low speed for about 45 seconds, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything evenly.
-
Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for an additional 2 minutes. Remember to pause and scrape the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well mixed.
-
Gently fold in the diced strawberries into the batter. 🍓 This adds juicy sweetness and bursts of flavor throughout the cake.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This ensures the cake is perfectly baked and moist.
-
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. This helps it set slightly before removing it.
-
Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. 🧁
-
While the cake cools, prepare the delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze using recipe #71643.
-
Spoon the Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze generously over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides enticingly. 🥄💕
-
For optimal flavor, refrigerate any remaining cake. The chilled cake is delightful with a cup of coffee or tea.
This Strawberry Carrot Cake is a delightful twist on the classic carrot cake, adding a burst of fruity sweetness from the strawberries. With its moist crumb and aromatic spices, it’s a treat perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to elegant celebrations. Enjoy each slice, savoring the blend of flavors and the joy it brings to those who indulge! 🎉
