Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 package (8 oz) Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting
Step-by-step Guide:
1 – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2 – In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3 – Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4 – Fold in the grated carrots and nuts until evenly distributed.
5 – Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6 – Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7 – Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8 – Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
9 – Slice and enjoy your delicious Carrot Cinnamon Bundt Cake!
Pro Tips for Success:
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Add More Flavor: Add a bit of ginger to the frosting for a twist on the classic carrot cake.
- Heat The Frosting: Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting makes this recipe so much easier. Heat it up in a bowl, spread it on, and let it drizzle down for a gorgeous finish.
This Carrot Cinnamon Bundt Cake is perfect for any celebration. Its deliciously moist texture, warm spice, and rich cream cheese frosting will surely be a hit at your next party.
