Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups finely grated carrots (about 3-4 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Prep your steaming setup: Fill a large pot or steamer with about 2-3 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. You want gentle steam, not a rolling boil, so keep an eye on it.
  • Prepare your pan: Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or a heatproof container with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Grate the carrots: Use a fine grater to get tender, moist carrot strands. Add them to the wet mixture along with the milk, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients until combined.
  • Add nuts (if using): Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for some crunch and texture contrast.
  • Pour batter into the pan: Smooth the top with a spatula but don’t overwork it.
  • Steam the cake: Lower the pan into the steamer, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid wrapped in a clean towel, and steam for about 60 minutes. Check with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes.
  • Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.

    • Notes

    A moist and tender steamed carrot pudding cake with warm spices and a pudding-like texture, perfect for those who find traditional carrot cakes too dry or heavy.
