Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Other Ingredients
- 2 carrots, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it is ready for baking the cake evenly.
- Blend Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Carrots. Gently fold in the shredded carrots by stirring them into the blended batter until evenly distributed.
- Prepare Baking Pan. Line a 7×7 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake the Cake. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
- Cool and Serve. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving to help it set properly and enhance texture.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
- For a nuttier flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter along with the carrots.
- This cake is best served within 2 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Make sure to shred the carrots finely for even distribution and moist texture.
- If you prefer a spicier cake, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or ginger along with the cinnamon.
