Ingredients For Sourdough Carrot Cake

As stated earlier, the process is easy and less time-consuming. However, you will need a few ingredients. Make sure that you have all of them, and then you can start the preparation process.

Here are the ingredients you will need for your cake.

Shredded carrots

Granulated sugar

How To Make It

In most cake preparations, you will need butter, milk, and egg.

However, you will need some different ingredients for this cake.

You will have to add nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

Instead of butter, you can add applesauce (unsweetened), olive oil, and sourdough discard. All will give a different flavor and taste to your cake.

Grate the carrot and place the grated carrot between two paper towel sheets. You can keep a plate on paper towels. It will help to squeeze all the liquid from the carrot.

In a stand mixer bowl, combine olive oil, eggs, sugar, sourdough starter, vanilla, and applesauce. Use the medium speed and allow it to mix for two minutes.

You can use a large bowl to whisk cinnamon, ginger, flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Also, you will have to store ingredients at room temperature.

Get a medium-sized bowl and mix carrot and other dry ingredients.

Mix all the dry ingredients in the stand mixer.

Pour the batter into the pan and smooth out to make it even.

How To Store Leftover

You can eat your cake within a couple of days. You can store it in an airtight container.

Also, you can cover your cake with plastic wraps and store it at room temperature. However, if you want to keep it for a long time, you can store the leftover in your fridge.

Use an airtight container and store it in your fridge for a week. However, the cake might be a bit hard if you keep it in your fridge.

You can remove the cake from your fridge and keep it at room temperature for half an hour. You will find it fresh and tasty.
