Inside-out Carrot Cake Loaf
(cream cheese filled carrot cake)
Carrot Cake Batter:
You will need about 3-4 carrots, finely
grated.
2 c. finely grated raw carrot (about 3-4
carrots)
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. canola oil
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. flour
Procedure:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray two 9 X 5 loaf pans with non-
stick baking spray. (Alternately, you
can bake one larger cake using a
bundt pan.)
2. Peel and grate about 3 large
carrots to get 2 c. finely grated carrot.
3. Add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla
extract to the grated carrot. Mix well.
4. Sift the flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and
nutmeg until combined well.
5. Chop the walnuts. Reserve a few T.
of chopped walnuts to use for topping.
6. Mix the cream cheese, egg, sugar,
vanilla, and flour to make the filling.
7. Dump the carrot mixture on top of
the flour mixture, and mix to combine.
8. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
9. Pour about 1 1/2 c. of carrot cake
batter into the bottom of each loaf
pan.
10. Spoon the cream cheese filling
down the center of each loaf pan, on
top of the bottom layer of carrot cake
batter.
11. Spoon the remaining carrot cake
batter over the cream cheese filling to
cover. Sprinkle with the reserved
chopped walnuts (if desired) and 1 T.
of large crystal decorating sugar (if
desired). (If you are making this as a
bundt cake, omit the topping. You
may want to top your cooled cake with
a dusting of powdered sugar, or my
cream cheese glaze instead.)
12. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55
minutes. Remove from the oven,
allow to cool 5-10 minutes before
removing from the pan. (You might
have a crack in the top this
sometimes happens dont worry
about it as long as your cake is cooked
on the inside, it wont look that bad
once sliced.)
13. Allow the loaf to cool completely
before slicing.
