INCREDIBLY MOIST AND EASY CARROT CAKE
This is the best carrot cake recipe I've ever used. We prefer to use a hand grater when preparing the carrots since it creates delicate carrot shreds that melt into the cake batter. Pre-shredded bags or shredding carrots using a food processor are also options, but the carrot shreds will be larger. This recipe is forgiving. You can make this with or without the nuts or raisins. We love the combination of granulated and brown sugar, but if you only have one of them, use it, and the cake will still be delicious. Frosting: Our creamy frosting recipe shared below is not a traditional cream cheese frosting. Thanks to whipped cream, it's creamier and has soft peaks (you can see it in our video). We love it, but if you prefer a more traditional frosting, see the tips section below the recipe. We have provided instructions for a classic cream cheese frosting that works nicely with this cake.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the top. Or grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C).
- Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until very well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one.
- Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the dry ingredients in three parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
- Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Cool cakes in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the cake layers out onto cooling racks. Remove the parchment paper and cool completely. If you find that a cake layer is sticking to the bottom of the pan, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
- Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time, until fluffy.
- Pour in the whipping cream. Beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frosting is whipped and creamy. This frosting resembles the texture of whipped cream. Chill covered until ready to frost the cake.
- When the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, and place the second cake layer on top.
- Add the remaining frosting to the top of the carrot cake and use a butter knife or small spatula to swirl the frosting around. Leave the sides of the cake unfrosted. Finish with a handful of nuts on top.

IN THE REBOOT KITCHEN: CARROT CAKE JUICE
We all know that your juice can be nutritious, but let's not forget that it can also be delicious. I came up with this recipe when Jamie told me that we had a lot of extra carrots in the Reboot Kitchen and we didn't want to waste them. So in an attempt to make a fun carrot juice, I thought if you can make cake from carrots, why not turn that into a yummy juice? So I came up with this fun spin on traditional carrot cake. And if you are someone who doesn't usually choose sweet juices, remember to strive for variety. Human bodies are complex and need a multitude of different nutrients to stay healthy and keep us at the top of our game. So even though green juices are sure to pack a ton of nutrients, try to mix it up and add some fruit and root vegetable juices to your diet as well. This way you'll be sure to soak in as many nutrients as possible. Here are three things to take away from this recipe: Juice 'em if you got 'em! If you have leftover produce in the fridge, make it into a juice instead of wasting it. Healthy juices can taste good too! When making your juices, don't forget to have fun and know that you can aim for tasty as well as healthy. Mix it up! Be sure to diversify your juices, even if it's not what you usually drink - your body will like the variation.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line three 8" or 9" round cake pans with parchment paper, or butter and flour the pans. (see note 1).
- Place the currants in a small bowl and pour enough hot water over to cover. Set aside for 20 minutes to plump. Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar until it resembles applesauce. Add the eggs, vanilla and lemon extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and emulsified (see photo).
- Add the ground carrots and the walnuts. Drain the water from the currents and add them to the batter. Add the dry ingredients in three batches, scraping the bowl in between. Mix until completely combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. If you bake 2 layers they may take a little longer to bake.
- Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack and cool completely (see note 2)
- Set aside half the frosting to ice the cake. Place one cake layer, flat side down, on the serving platter. Spread 1/2 of the remaining frosting over the layer. Repeat with the 2nd layer. Place the third layer, flat side up, on top.
