Easy Carrot Cake Recipe using Spice Cake Mix. How to make a box cake taste homemade 😋🍰
Hello everyone, so today I wanted to share this easy carrot cake recipe with cream cheese frosting, using the boxed spice cake mix. This cake is so easy to make, it's so moist and delicious.
Carrot Cake recipe
Ingredients:
1 Box of Spice Cake Mix
1 Cup of Milk (room temperature)
3 Eggs (room temperature)
1/2 Cup of Oil (vegetable, canola or sunflower)
2 Cups of Shredded Carrots
1 Cup Crushed Walnuts (optional)
1 Tsp Vanilla
Frosting:
1 Pkg. Creams Cheese (8oz. room temperature)
1/2 Cup of Butter (room temperature)
2-3 Cups of Icing/Powder Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
1-2 Tbsp Milk or Cream (optional, if your frosting needs thinning)
Direction:
Preheat oven to 350F. In a bowl beat eggs, add milk and oil and beat for 1 min. Add vanilla. Sift the cake mix and beat for 2 min. Add the carrots, if using nuts, fold it in. Divide in 2 8or 9 inch baking pans and cook for 25-30 min. Remove cake unto a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
Prepare frosting: In a bowl, beat cream cheese till soft, add butter and beat again, add 1 cup of icing sugar at a time and beat until smooth, add in vanilla. Check for desired sweetness, I ended up using 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar. If frosting is too thick, thin it out with a tbsp of milk or cream.
Decorate your cake according to taste. I used some crushed walnuts on the side and half pieces on top. Enjoy!
Thank u so much for watching and have an amazing day 💖

@@TinaKazarian your welcome❤ I have made twice now and someone who loves carrot cake said it may be the best he has ever had :)
Just a suggestion: I would use butter instead of oil, add an extra egg (4), always always add a box of pudding mix (vanilla) and milk is a great so is sour cream or flavored coffee creamer. You're cake looks amazing and delicious thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this recipe! It wasnt too complicated and it ended up tasting so delicious! Thank you!

What if you were to substitute pineapple juice (canned) in place of the water? I've tasted some carrot cake with pineapple and it was soooo very moist and flavorful!
Hi Tina! I just found your channel! Thank you for sharing your recipes. My best friend is Lebanese and he used to get me maamoul made by his mother whenever he went to visit Lebanon (we're in the US). I plan on making these to surprise him and was wondering how far in advance can I make the dough? Can I make it a day in advance and put it in the fridge or is it better to make it the day I'm baking them? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Are u going to make the maamoul on my channel? If so u can knead the butter the night before and leave it till next morning to mix the rest of the ingredients. I never put it in the fridge so not sure how it will turn out. Let me know how he likes it once u make it 🥰
Can you use white cake mix?

I would give it a try and see how it turns out, if that’s all you have. Let me know ☺️
Would I follow the box time & temperature for baking this in a 9 x 13 dish?

Hi Gabrielle, yes u do but 5 min prior to cooking time finishing insert a toothpick if it comes out clean then take it out, so it stays moist. Happy baking sweetheart 🥰
Can you use carrot cake ix?

Constructive feedback. Disliked because: 1. Gradually adding ingredients: Completely and totally not necessary. It mixes the same way if that is not done. All it does is make the process of making anything take longer. 2. Sifting: Completely and totally not necessary. Again it mixes the same way if that is not done. All doing that does is make the process of making something take longer AND YOU STILL HAD LUMPS.
