Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly.

  5. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts if using.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Add raisins or crushed pineapple for extra sweetness and moisture.
  • Use shredded coconut or additional spices like ginger or cloves for flavor variations.
  • Freshly grated carrots provide the best moisture and texture.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze the unfrosted cake for up to 2 months and thaw before glazing.
