How To Prepare Carrot Bundt Cake?
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Making Method Step By Step:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan, making sure to coat it evenly.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract and beat until well combined and smooth.
12. Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
13. Optionally, you can garnish the cake with additional chopped nuts or grated carrots.
Slice and serve the delicious Carrot Bundt Cake. Enjoy!

Is It Carrot Bundt Cake Martha Stewart?
Yes, This recipe is specially designed for Martha Stewart’s Bundt Cake. From what I know, the original carrot cake recipe came from the American South and was made with all butter.
The original recipe was created in 1889 by J.K. Eberhardt of Chattanooga, Tennessee. He named it after his mother, Martha Stewart.
Is It Goes Carrot Bundt Cake With Raisins?
Yes, it certainly is. The more raisins are added to the batter. The more intense they taste in the final product.
