Ingredients you’ll need to make this Spring treat

The crumb topping makes this recipe different from a traditional carrot cake.

The cake:

  • Carrots
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • eggs
  • all-purpose flour
  • baking soda
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt

Topping for the streusel:

  • More Butter (yum!)
  • Brown sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt

How to Make Carrot Cake coffee cake

This is how to make it.

  1. Grate the carrots using a food processor. Grating carrots is a chore. I’m not sorry. Please put me on record. I said it. I won’t make you grate any food! You can run peeled carrots in the food processor. What are you doing if you don’t own a food processor? This post is essential.
  2. Prepare your batter. Combine eggs, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and Butter in a large bowl. BUTTER. Vegetable oil is traditionally used in carrot cakes. BUT BUTTER IS DELICIOUS. Today we are using Butter. Obviously.
  3. Prepare your streusel. Place all the streusel ingredients in a small mixing bowl and pulse until they have a pebble texture.
  4. Bake! Grease or line your pan with parchment paper. It is now baked under a thick layer of streusel. Test the doneness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into the middle. The cake is ready if the toothpick comes clean.
  5. Major YUM! What are you waiting for? As some readers did, you can also use a layer of cream cheese frosting. Let’s go! The crumbly topping has just a hint of crunch, while the honey butter smear is still warm. With a cup of coffee, on the other hand, this could be a perfect afternoon spring hygge.

    3. Streusel Mix the ingredients until it looks like pebbles. (Sometimes, I mix everything with my hands).
