Scale
Carrot Cake Coffee Cake:
- 2 large carrots
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Streusel Topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and grate the carrots (I use my food processor). You should have about 1 1/2 cups.
- Cake Batter: Whisk sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Stir in carrots. Add flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Streusel: Mix ingredients for the streusel until you get a texture that looks like pebbles (sometimes I use my hands to mix it all together).
- Bake: Spread batter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan (see FAQs). Sprinkle with streusel. Bake for 30 minutes until the center is just set. Top with honey butter if you’re extra (you are).
Notes
Honey Butter: Mix 1/4 cup very soft butter with 1/4 cup honey. Spread or dollop on warm slices of carrot cake coffee cake and die and go to heaven.
