Carrot Cake Coffee Cake

This coffee cake is moist, perfectly spiced and the perfect indulgent treat. I recommend grating your own carrots instead of buying them pre-grated, as they will be much softer. Recipe adapted from: pinchofyum.com

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 pieces

large carrots, peeled and shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup

brown sugar

1/4 cup

granulated sugar

4 tbsp.

unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

large eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup

all purpose flour

1/2 cup

whole wheat flour

1 tsp.

baking soda

1 tsp.

cinnamon

1/8 tsp.

salt

1/4 cup

finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" cake pan and set it aside. In a small bowl, make the streusel by stirring the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together with a fork until it is combined and crumbly. Then stir in the chopped nuts. Set this mixture aside.

* Step 2

For the cake batter, start by whisking together the melted butter, both sugars and eggs until combined. Then fold in the carrots. Next add in both of the flours, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Fold the batter together until it is just combined.

* Step 3

Spread the batter evenly into the greased pan and crumble the streusel mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 30 or so minutes, until the center is just set. Place the pan on a cooling rack and let it cool a bit before slicing and serving.
