Chocolate Carrot Bundt Cake

Chocolate Carrot Bundt Cake made with fresh carrots is a deliciously moist, chocolatey cake that can be served for dessert or breakfast. 

Technically, this Chocolate Carrot Bundt Cake is a quick bread; however, I decided to make it in a bundt pan to serve as a dessert. I also usually never have excess carrots on hand, but I forgot that I had already purchased some when I was food shopping.

Then, I bought more so of course I had to find a way to use them up!

I used the base recipe for my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, tweaked some ingredients and I have to say this bundt cake really came out well.

How do you make Chocolate Carrot Bundt Cake?

For this recipe you'll need eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and grated carrots.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F; then combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Add the oil and vanilla extract and whisk again. 

In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder. Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture with a wooden spoon; then add the grated carrots.

Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top springs back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean when inserted and allow to cool before slicing.

The kids liked this Chocolate Carrot Bundt Cake, but said they would have preferred it better if I added some mini chocolate chips to it. Maybe I'll add some next time or make muffins instead. ~Enjoy!
