De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: For easy removal, you can line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper after greasing it.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
Ongeveer 3 min
Tip van de kok: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the leaveners and spices are evenly distributed, which helps the cake rise evenly.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and neutral oil until well combined.
Ongeveer 2 min

Add the eggs to the sugar-oil mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Tip van de kok: A few streaks of flour are okay; they will disappear when you fold in the other ingredients.

Gently fold in the grated carrots until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

If using, fold in the optional raisins and chopped walnuts.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Tossing the raisins and walnuts in a spoonful of flour before adding them can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use the spatula to spread it into an even layer.

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Ongeveer 1 uur
Tip van de kok: Cooling completely is essential for the cake to set properly and to prevent it from crumbling when you slice it.
