This moist, warmly spiced Carrot Cake blends grated carrots, crunchy walnuts, and fragrant cinnamon and nutmeg with the creamy richness of CARNATION® Evaporated Milk for a tender, flavorful crumb. Every bite delivers classic homemade comfort with just the right amount of sweetness.

The luscious frosting comes together with smooth cream cheese, a touch of LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk, and whipped cream, resulting in a velvety finish that perfectly complements the spiced cake. Topped with charming, piped carrot decorations, this dessert is as delightful to look at as it is to eat.

Perfect for celebrations, holidays, or everyday indulgence, this easy Carrot Cake brings nostalgic flavor and bakery style appeal straight to your kitchen, made even better with the trusted creaminess of La Lechera and Carnation.

Ingredients

Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

Step 2

Mix the eggs, sugar, oil, and NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk until fully combined. Add the grated carrot, walnuts, flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan and bake at 350 °F for 50 to 55 minutes.

Step 3

For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk and heavy cream. Divide a small portion of the frosting into two bowls, tinting one with orange food coloring and the other with green food coloring. Transfer the colored frostings to piping bags and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Unmold the cake and decorate with the white frosting and use the colored frostings to pipe small carrot shapes. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

You can add vanilla extract to the frosting to enhance its flavor.
