Easy Carrot Coffee Cake a delicious Homemade Moist Carrot Cake that is so delicious it doesn’t even need a frosting. The perfect Breakfast, Snack or Dessert Cake.

Nothing better than a slice of a delicious Coffee Cake to go with a steaming hot cup of coffee or tea and another good Cake is this Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake or this delicious Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake.

I love Coffee Cakes and since living in Italy I have discovered that I much more enjoy a Cake that is lightly flavoured and simple.

I have stepped away from the overly sweet and overly frosted cakes to a more simple cake that goes great with a cup of tea or coffee!

And since April 7th is Coffee Cake day I thought this Carrot Coffee Cake would be the perfect reason to celebrate.

What are Coffee Cakes?

Coffee Cakes are meant to be served with coffee and are usually flavored with fruit, cinnamon or nuts. And quite often they have a streusel topping. They can be baked in a round, square or even in a bundt pan.

As I have mentioned before my husband likes his breakfast dunk. So anything edible on the kitchen table in the morning gets dunked.

And naturally a big slice of Coffee Cake is his favourite.

Especially since I added some chopped nuts to a delicious streusel topping.

How to make a Carrot Coffee Cake

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients and shredded carrots.
  • Beat together the sugars, eggs, yogurt and oil.
  • Add the creamed mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Pour into prepared cake pan and sprinkle with streusel topping.
  • Bake for approximately one hour. Slice and enjoy with a big cup of coffee!

So how ever you serve this Easy Carrot Cake for Breakfast, Snack or Dessert with a cup of coffee or tea I hope you enjoy it!

      Dear Rosemary,
      In love with your blog and recopies.. you page just seems to be filled with love and takes me to my childhood to the smell of freshly baked cakes … yumm.
      Most of your recipies are of serving 10/12/15. Could you also share some for smaller servings, maybe 6-8 or how much to reduce the quantity. I’m a beginner so would like to try smaller sizes to begin with.
      Thank you and stay happy!
